    • Press ENTER twice on the keyboard.

    • Use the mouse to select "Other User".

    • Type your UNI (without @columbia.edu) in the username field as shown below.

    • Enter your password.

  3. Once signed in successfully, you will be taken to the desktop as shown below.

Setting up Microphone

For class recording purposes, microphones are installed in the ceiling and will automatically pick up voices audible in the classroom. You may use either the lavaliere microphone or the handheld microphones if you need to project your voice louder in the room.

Using the Lavaliere Microphone

  1. Locate the lavaliere microphone on top of the podium (or check the drawers if not visible).

  2. Clip the microphone about 6 inches from your mouth.

  3. Turn on the power switch (located at the top of the mic).

    • Look for a green light indicating power is on.

  4. Speak and adjust the microphone position as needed for desired volume.

Using the Handheld Microphone

  1. Locate the handheld microphone on top of the podium.

  2. Turn on the power switch. The mic window will be lit indicating the power is on.

  3. Speak and adjust the microphone position as needed for desired volume.
