Note: This will generally reset the room systems to their default state. 
Wait a few seconds to allow all connected systems to reset fully before powering the Extron system on once again and selecting the desired "Basic" or "Advanced" operating mode when prompted.

I am experiencing an audio feedback loop. How can I end the audio loop?

Within a Zoom Meeting, this audio loop occurs when the user is using a classroom microphone and has both the Zoom Room and the laptop/desktop unmuted.

To resolve this issue, the user must mute their microphone input in the Zoom Meeting on their laptop/desktop:

This issue can be completely avoided by clicking on the up arrow and clicking on Leave Computer Audio. This eliminates the possibility of any microphone input entering from the laptop/desktop into the Zoom Meeting.

How can I download Zoom recordings from a Recurring or Impromptu Meeting?

For recurring, scheduled classroom Zoom meetings, faculty can download and publish these recordings within the Canvas page for their corresponding course.

This can be done by:
1. Navigating to the course.
2. Navigating to the Zoom tab on the left-hand side. 
3. Click on the Cloud Recordings tab to view all the cloud recordings for that class session.

For impromptu meetings, the host of the meeting can locate the recording within their Zoom desktop application.

This can be done by:
1. Opening the Zoom desktop application (Zoom Workplace)
2. Navigating to the Meetings tab
3. Navigating to the Recorded tab
