- Also allows for use of our Spotlight laser pointer, which can be seen through our capture device to those viewing virtually.
Will I be able to play audio or video during my presentation?

Recording & Streaming:

-
- Public streams can be viewed live on MLML’s YouTube page by the general public, and can be watched publicly on MLML’s YouTube page once the talk is over.
- Private streams are recorded as “Unlisted” on MLML’s YouTube page. This means that people can only view it who have the link. MLML provides the link to those in the MLML community who would like to watch the stream, but it is not provided publicly. It then is kept as Unlisted after the talk is over, so that it cannot be searched for or viewed on YouTube publicly.
Why do I have to be recorded?
-
- All MLML seminars and defenses are recorded for MLML internal community but the speaker has option to make the presentation stream live to the public or not. This helps our facility improve in it’s streaming capabilities and keeps our records up-to-date.

- For information about Audio Settings, visit our Seminar Room Audio Settings
PROBLEM: Projector does not power on
POSSIBLE CAUSE #1: You may not be standing in the right location to control the projector with the remote.
- SOLUTION:
- Projector 2, the projector in the center, should be turned on and off while standing to the right of the podium.
- Projector 1, the projector to the presenter's right, should be turned on and off while standing in front of the door to the storage closet (Room 101B)
- Projector 3, the projector to the presenter's left, should be turned on and off while standing near the bottom of the ramp by the windows.
POSSIBLE CAUSE #2: The room may be too bright (for the signal from the remote to be detected).
- SOLUTION: The projectors respond best to the remote in a dimly lit room. Lower the shades and dim the lights if the projectors are not turning on for you. Also, the lamp in the projector needs to warm up in order for the projector to start projecting. Be sure to wait 10-20 seconds for the projector to turn on and warm up.
(NOTE: If you look closely at the bottom of the projector, you will notice 2 small lights, one green, one amber. When the projector powers on, the amber light turns off and the green light stays on.)
POSSIBLE CAUSE #3: The batteries in the remote may need to be replaced.
- SOLUTION: Aim the remote at a wall or the floor and press the Laser button to verify that the remote has power. If the laser is dim or not visible replace the batteries in the remote. Contact IT Services or the Front Office Staff for batteries.
