      1. On a Zoom call, to share the introductory slides before each lab with your learners.

      • When you have the slide up on your screen that you want them to see, press the green "Share Screen" button at bottom middle

      • Choose to share "Screen 1" (your desktop) OR share the screen labelled "Embodied Labs" where the blue slides appear.

      • Check the checkbox "Share sound". (You won't need the other checkbox "Optimize for video clip" yet.)

      • Press the blue "Share" button at bottom right

       

      2. When you reach this "Personalize your fit" screen, press Zoom's red "Stop Share" button.

       

      3. To share the VR experience, toggle the switch shown below to ON. 

       

      4. Put your hand in front of the headset sensor.

      • Find the sensor in between the two lenses - where you put your eyes - inside of the headset. 
      • After a couple of seconds, you'll see a new window pop up, showing "Thumbs up to begin" on a black screen. 

      If the above "Thumbs up to begin" window or the Zoom window mentioned below aren't easy to see, you can bring them up to the foreground by clicking on their icon in the taskbar. 

       

      4. Navigate back to Zoom for a moment.

      • Press "Screen Share"

      • Check the two little checkboxes at bottom left "Share computer sound" and "Optimize screen sharing for video clip"

      • In the list of shareable window options, choose the black screen that shows "Thumbs up to begin".

      • Press the blue "Share" button at bottom right

      Go ahead into the lab.

      5. If you take off the headset to stop mid-experience, put it down on the desk in front of you. 

      • To restart the lab experience, put your headset back on

      • To quit:

        • press "End VR" in the white window OR

        • choose X in the top right corner of the VR experience window

       

      Both of the above options will un-share the Zoom screen, and you will see a Zoom confirmation message that screen sharing has been stopped.
