Video Record in Jones 127A with Zoom

Jones 127A is now a Zoom Room designed for conferencing. But did you know it can also be used as a small video recording studio? With Zoom, you can record meetings even if you don’t have remote participants (i.e. you’re just recording yourself). The types of recordings that you could use the Zoom Room for include:

• Instructional demonstrations for the creation of online lessons

• One on one video interviews

• Small focus groups or student presentations 

Why would you video record in a Zoom Room? All the equipment you need for a quality recording is already there!

• Flexible seating for seven, including a small instructor table

• A Polycom Studio camera with speaker tracking that follows the action in the room

• A 75-inch monitor

• Wireless screen sharing and a document camera

• A simple iPad touch control system
