Document Sharing with Sphere

This tip is from Charlie Cutelli and Lauren Reusch from Parkway West High/ edited and posted by Elegan Kramer

If you’re still fumbling around with sharing your (AverMedia) document camera during Zoom, you can use the program Sphere to make the transition smoother. This may be especially helpful if you’re teaching in-person and videoconferenced students simultaneously. 

The advantages of using the Sphere program are:

• it streamlines the transition to sharing the document camera

• the camera’s field of view is much larger, and 

• it is also much easier to zoom in and zoom out.

Here is Charlie’s 1-minute video highlighting the difference between Zoom’s Advanced settings and Sphere.
