4. Plug in the flash drive provided by the Library into the Recording Center. Your presentation will be recorded to the provided flash drive.​ You may also record to your personal flash drive if you have one with you.

5. Plug in all other flash drives (including the flash drive with your PowerPoint lecture, if necessary) into the device marked “USB Hub” at the computer station.​ The clicker USB should already be plugged into the monitor. You will need to turn on the clicker before starting.

6. Select which preset camera view best suits your style and needs. The preset selection is a small device located on the wall next to a poster explaining the presets. Please scroll through the presets SLOWLY and PATIENTLY, the equipment takes time to change views. Clicking multiple times can cause the equipment to malfunction. Patience is key here. View on confidence monitor which displays how your presentation is being recorded.

7. Once you have selected your preset, you are almost ready to start recording! The Recording Center will have several buttons on them:​
​
-The red circle is the ”Record” button. Pressing this will start recording after roughly 2 seconds after it starts. 
-The black square is the “Stop” button. Pressing this will stop your recording and automatically save it to the flash drive with the key attached.​ The flashdrive should be blinking while it is saving your recording to it. Please do not remove the flashdrive until it is done blinking to ensure your recording is saved. We recommend cleaning up before removing the flashdrive. You should check your recording on your laptop or computer. You can also check it on the iMac in the studio.
