Connecting To The Room's External Monitor (Windows)
Step 1: Locate the HDMI cable laying out on the instructor desk. It may be attached to a USB-C adapter labeled with the room number. If your computer has an HDMI port, you may remove the adapter, set it to the side and plug the HDMI cable into your PC.
Step 2: Your screen may flash, and you should see your display come up on the external monitor.
Step 3: To verify your monitor is connected properly, go to your computers settings and navigate to Settings>System>Display.
Step 4: Depending on your computer’s settings you will see a representation of the external monitor being used as a mirror for your desktop (left image below) or as an extended display (right image below). If your computer is already using the external monitor as an extended display (right image below) you may exit. Your external monitor is connected correctly.
Step 5: If your computer was set to use the external monitor as a mirror for your desktop, scroll down and locate the option for “Multiple Displays” (as shown in the screenshot). Click on the dropdown and select the option for “Extend these displays”. Wait (the screen may blink) and then scroll back up to verify the representation image of your external monitor matches the image on the right in Step 4. If so, then you may exit the settings application. Your display is connected correctly.
