Start on the Inputs screen. You can select what source to display your teaching materials. 

Use the Hide Image button to show a blank screen.
The bottom bar displays various functions such as changing the volume of the speakers, as well as muting the in-room microphone. You can also turn off the AV system or report an issue with the Pod. This bar will remain on the screen wherever you go on the panel.

The Camera Controls screen lets you adjust the camera either using the built-in presets or the free camera controls. Privacy mode makes the camera face the ceiling, not showing anything within the room. Please note: this only hides the input from the camera, your on-screen content will still be displayed unless you use Hide Image on the Inputs screen.

The Screen Controls control the projector screens in the room. You can adjust or hide the screens using the controls.

If you have more than one screen, you can unlink the screens, displaying different sources from each projector. Separate the screens and then use the options that appear to select which source is projected on which screen.

The Lecture Capture screen allows you to preview your camera and content, as well as pause and stop the recording. Pausing, stopping or resuming the recording may take a minute to complete.
The blue lecture capture bar at the top of the panel will always be there and will change colour depending on the Lecture Capture status. It is red when recording or flashing orange when paused.
