How guests can present media on Silkwood classroom televisions
Presenting media on the TV screens in Silkwood classrooms is now a straight forward standardised process. As all the TV's are fitted with Vivi wi-fi media boxes, please have your guest follow the following steps.
- Log on to the wi-fi (follow previous instructions), open a browser, and open the go.silkwood.qld.edu.au page.
- At the bottom of the page click the blue Vivi logo (If they are using a phone or tablet they will have to install the app from the apple app store or the google play store.)
- This will download the Vivi application to their computer, mac or pc.
- Install the application on their device
- Run the Vivi application on their device
- On the opening window it will ask for the name of the organisation. Type in "Silkwood School" and click the "Silkwood School" button when it appears.
- When asked to log in, select "Log in as Guest"
- Now you need to be logged into the room on your own Vivi device
- Go into the "room settings" at the bottom of the Vivi screen
- Click "invite guest presenter"
- Use the Duration slider to decide how long your guest requires access to Vivi
- You will be shown a guest code, which you then give to your guest to enter on their device
- Once they enter it they will have access to the room controls.
- If they have a video they wish to play from a link on the web, have them choose "play a video direct" and insert the link which also allows them normal access to their device while the video plays.
- If they wish to have their screen mirrored they should choose present my screen.
Please note: This process eliminates the need for any cables or adaptors to connect any device to the TVs.
