All meeting rooms are now equipped with a standard computer to do presentations or video calls.
Start
Start
- Switch on the keyboard and mouse. Search for their individual power switch.
- Wake up the computer, move the mouse or hit a key.
- Make sure the large display is powered on. A green LED on the lower left frame is good, if it’s red, press the button once to switch it on.
- Log in with your Uni-Mainz username and password.
Switch to external HDMI signal / display your notebook signal
- Connect your computer with the HDMI plug in the table panel.
- That's all. After a few seconds, it will switch automatically. The build in Windows computer is bypassed, so no credentials are necessary.
- ONLY for the ground floor meeting room is there a second step necessary:
Press the "input select" button on the display until "HDMI" is highlighted. Wait 2 seconds for the switching process to complete.
- Hint: Adjust the volume via the panel on the side of the smart board (illuminated in blue).
Stop

- Switch off only the keyboard and mouse.
- Please, do not: power down the computer or display. They go into power saving mode 15 minutes after you left the room.
