How do I operate HyFlex classroom technology?

Hyflex - These classrooms are outfitted with video cameras and microphones suitable for synchronous instruction with some students in person and some students online.
How do I know if my room is HyFlex equipped? HyFlex rooms have one camera pointed toward the instructor and one pointed toward the student area, as well as microphones in the ceiling.

This FAQ refers to HyFlex classroom technology found in SOND105, ITE227, ITE233, ENGR025, AD101 (LH3), and various other departmental spaces on campus.
If you would like training on these systems, please submit an RT Ticket to set up training and indicate which room you are scheduled in. A practice session before the first class is highly recommended.
