Our staff have standardized each of these panels to ensure they\u00a0 use consistent terminology for ease of access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our classrooms do have the ability to display content that may be copyrighted for education purposes. However,&nbsp;faculty and staff&nbsp; frequently encounter problems streaming from sites that provide access to copyrighted content (i.e Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, AppleTV etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately this is due to copyright protections that streaming companies have built into their websites that prevent videos playing on external screens. This is&nbsp; why only audio plays through the classroom A\/V system while the projector screen is black and the movie still plays on the desktop or laptop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try changing how you are connected to the A\/V system (i.e. Airplay, HDMI cable, or Desktop Connection) Streaming can have more success via Airplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[This information only applies to COM managed classrooms, not O.U.R. classrooms.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/e\/2PACX-1vTCgriRd49D4VEjnQ3hAGtAgqDT9TEMP44kAwaAQkxld3dqc9he9XkO15MS4gKBbymWpS61NTXb16pj\/pubhtml?gid=1561695502&amp;single=true&amp;widget=true&amp;headers=false\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 400px; border: 0\" ><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s easy to display your computer screen and audio in the COM classrooms.\u00a0Each classroom is equipped with a control panel&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22657,"featured_media":0,"parent":246,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_bu_prepress_primary_term":"","_bu_prepress_primary_term_manual":""},"bu-publication":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/comtech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/334"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/comtech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/comtech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/comtech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22657"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/comtech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=334"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/comtech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/334\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1219,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/comtech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/334\/revisions\/1219"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/comtech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/246"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/comtech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"bu-publication","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/comtech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bu-publication?post=334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
