Technology Updates in Meeting and Conference Rooms
Have you seen the technology upgrades in our conference rooms, classrooms, and meeting rooms? Hybrid Technology Room Kits are now installed in both Ogg classrooms and the Dejope, Slichter, and UA conference rooms. The Symphony Room in Gordon will also be receiving new technology this week! With this new technology, you can join Zoom, Webex, Teams, and Google Meetings, and each room has integrated cameras, speakers, and microphones to make the hybrid experience more successful. Look for a tablet located in each room to set up and control your meeting. Updated instructions are in each room, and shortly, you will be able to find videos for each location on the Residential Operations SharePoint site. Training materials will be posted both on SharePoint and in each room.
