Set up a Meeting Owl Pro cart

  1. Plug in

    Plug in the cart using the extension cord coiled up on a hook below the TV.

  2. Turn on computer Image of a small computer on the back of a TV cart.

    Turn on the computer, which is attached to the back of the TV. The power button is located on the front face, towards the bottom.

  3. Set up keyboard and mouse Image of keyboard, mouse, and TV remote in a caddy on the back of a TV cart.

    Retrieve the keyboard and mouse from the holder near the computer. They may be turned off when you pick them up. If so, turn them on using switches on the bottom of each.

    The TV will likely turn on when plugged in, but if it doesn't, you can use the remote (which is stored next to the mouse).

  4. Set up Owl Pro Photograph of a Meeting Owl Pro in a holder behind a TV cart

    Retrieve the Owl Pro from its holder on the opposite side of the TV from the computer and set it in the center of your meeting table.

    Cables plugged in to the bottom of the Owl Pro unit should never be unplugged. This is because one of the two cables is extremely fragile. It is easy to damage by unplugging it and plugging it back in. Please leave everything connected to preserve the utility of this system!

  5. Join your Zoom meeting

    By this point, the computer should have finished starting up, so you can join your Zoom meeting. Here's how you do that:

    1. Start Zoom by double-clicking it on the desktop.
    2. Click on "Join Meeting".
    3. Enter your Meeting ID (which you should have received in advance). Wait to enter your passcode until the next screen - the box below "Meeting ID" is for the name presented to other participants in the meeting.
    4. Click "Join". Now you'll be asked for your meeting passcode.
    5. Once you get into the meeting, make sure the camera, microphone, and speakers are all set to use the Meeting Owl Pro.

After your meeting

  1. Turn off computer

    When your meeting is over, leave the Zoom meeting and power off the computer.

    In case you're not familiar with Windows:

    1. Open the Start Menu (icon in the lower left corner of the screen).
    2. Click on the power button icon in the bottom right of the Start Menu.
    3. Click "Shut down".
  2. Put away Owl Pro Photograph of a Meeting Owl Pro in a holder behind a TV cart

    Place the Owl Pro unit back in its holder and coil the cable neatly. Please do not unplug the Meeting Owl.

    On the downstairs Owl Pro cart, there is a separate cable hook for the Owl Pro cables. If you're upstairs, loop the cables over the Owl Pro itself as shown.

  3. Put away keyboard and mouse Image of keyboard, mouse, and TV remote in a caddy on the back of a TV cart.

    The keyboard and mouse can safely be left on when put away. They're stored in a caddy behind the TV as shown. Don't forget to fold down the keyboard's feet if you used them.

  4. Unplug and coil extension cord

    As long as the computer is powered off, you can unplug the extension cord and put it away. You don't need to manually turn off the TV.
