It's the same link as the students use to join the conference. * How to save the chat * Menu (three vertical dots), in chat windows, upper right corner: save * The chat content is gone after closing the meeting. * How to export the annotations of the whiteboard * Currently: not possible (#10352). We're looking for a solution. * How to screenshare from a tablet? * Not directly supported. * Workaround: mirror the screen to a notebook which is logged into collab and does a screenshare. * Android: [[android_screen_stream]] or [[androidHdmiGrabber|via HDMI]] * iOS: [[ios_screen_sharing]] = Speaker = * Activate the 'collab' per lecture and / or 'exercises' under https://w3.math.uzh.ch/my > Lecture > [setting] > Streaming == Sign in == * '''By using w3/my: Not necessary''' * Without 'w3/my': Sign in with your '''UZH Shortname''' and '''Webpass Password''': `Sign in > Sign in with LDAP`. {{attachment:bbb01.png}} {{attachment:bbb02.png}} {{attachment:bbb03.png}} == Meeting room == * '''By using w3/my: Not necessary''' - click in w3/my on '''Stream speaker''' * Without 'w3/my': * Create a meeting room.

A workaround is (C=computer, T=tablet): * C: Use a computer (desktop or notebook). * C,T: computer und tablet should be connected to the same WLAN. * C: Install [[https://www.airserver.com/download|AirServer]] (30 days for free, 11 EUR to [[https://www.airserver.com/Buy/Education|buy]]) and start it. * T: Initiate screen sharing ([[android_screen_stream#Airserver|Android]], [[ios_screen_sharing#Airserver|iOS]]) from your tablet. Do not make it fullscreen on your computer now. * C: Start the video conference on the computer (e.g. !BigBlueButton via https://w3.math.uzh.ch/my > lectures). * C: Start screen share inside the video conference. * C: Make the tablet window fullscreen.
