Overview

This instruction is for use in the Small Groups rooms in the new Morsani College of Medicine building in downtown Tampa. These rooms have meeting capabilities through Microsoft Teams. The Crestron panel, a small tablet device, will work together with Microsoft Teams to control the monitor, audio, and other capabilities.


Before Using the Small Groups Room for a Teams Meeting

Important Tips

When scheduling a meeting in a specific room, the room itself must be included as one of the invitees.

Presenters must bring their own devices to the room in order to lead presentations. The monitor lacks the connectivity for laptops or other devices to project to the monitor.

In this Guide


When you walk into a Small Groups room, locate the Crestron panel, which resembles a tablet on a stand. (see image below)
