The Walter C. Langsam Library now offers a Teams Room that can be scheduled for online meetings. Located in Langsam 410, the room is outfitted with Teams Room technology designed to facilitate collaboration and video conferencing using Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Webex. 

Outside of the room, the Room Scheduling Panel shows the room’s availability and allows users to use a QR code to book the room for upcoming meetings. The resource name LANG410 can also be used when scheduling Teams, Zoom or Webex meetings via Outlook.

A Touchscreen Control Panel is placed on the meeting table for easy management of the room’s Teams meetings. It allows users to:

• Start or join a meeting with one tap.
• Adjust audio/video settings.
• Share content or switch between cameras.

A high-quality wide-angle camera is positioned to capture the entire room.

The Rally Bar soundbar has a built-in microphone, speakers and a high-quality wide-angle camera positioned to capture the entire room. When more than one person is in the room, tracking cameras automatically focus on the person speaking.

The Langsam Teams Room is available for use by all UC faculty, staff and students. It is a collaboration between UC’s Digital Technology Solutions (DTS) and UC Libraries and is part of a university-wide initiative to increase collaboration spaces and provide consistent experiences.
