1. Set Up Your Devices

Devices You Will Need:

  • Laptop/PC
  • USB Cable
  • Konftel Ego/55WX Conference Phone
  • Konftel Cam20/Cam50 Web Camera
  • Secondary screen (if needed)

Plug your computer into a singular USB cable to:

  • pair your camera device (Cam20/Cam50) 
  • extend your computer screen to a secondary screen in the room

Practice sending out an invitation to children who are remote. You generally have two options:

  • Everyone who tries to join will be asked to join your classroom
  • Only allow students who are in your class to join the classroom
