1. In the wePresent equipped room, the user will need to turn on the projector and toggle the input on the projector’s remote control or use the Hitachi projector control software located on the instructor's workstation to select the wePresent device. In a wePresent equipped conference room, please make sure to select the proper input, often HDMI2. Once the correct input has been selected on the projector or display, the Passcode and IP Address will appear on the screen.
2. Launch the MirrorOp application on your device.
Note: You may be prompted to allow MirrorOp to use your computers microphone and Bluetooth functionality. Click Allow.
3. Before connecting to the wePresent device, evaluate the current username MirrorOp will use to connect to the wePresent device. From the Menu bar under MirrorOp select Preferences.
For students, change the username in the “Name” field and evaluate for appropriateness.
Note: This username is essentially your “display” name which will be displayed to your classmates via the projector screen while you are connected to the wePresent device.
Once this is done, close the window by clicking the Red Circle in the upper left-hand corner of the window.

5. Enter the Passcode obtained in step 1 and click OK.

7. Click the blue toggle switch to the right of "MirrorOp".
Note: If you are using a computer that is not owned by Parkland, you may need to enter an administrator's username and password to approve this setting.

If System Settings is still open, you can close it by clicking the Red Circle in the upper left-hand corner of the window.
