To return quickly:

  1. Press and hold the ON/OFF button on the bottom right of the screen frame until the screen turns off
  2. Then just briefly press the same button once to start
  3. Press the "MENU" symbol on one or the other side of the screen on the Samsung FLIP
  4. Choose "PC"
  5. Choose "HDMI"

Launching Samsung FLIP & Poly

  • If the Samsung screen is turned off, neither shows a clock nor anything else on the screen, press the ON/OFF button at the bottom of the screen front to start so that something is shown on the screen
  • Then start the Poly video conferencing system by pressing the panel on the conference table
  • Start a new meeting, or join an existing one.

Getting started with Zoom Whiteboard

  • Walk up to the Samsung FLIP
  • If a menu is visible at the bottom, quickly and briefly press the POWER button at the bottom of the Samsung FLIP screen to hide that menu
  • Then press directly on the screen with your finger, or the stylus pen which could be found in the middle of the screen sides, where there is a magnetic mount to hold the pen
  • A menu from Zoom appears (and is also hidden after a few seconds)
  • Use the built-in Whiteboard function in Zoom, down in the menu that now appeared after touching the screen
  • What is now drawn should automatically be shared in the Zoom meeting. Feel free to connect to the meeting with a computer to see the shared whiteboard.

Exiting and shutting down the system

  • When you want to end the Whiteboard sharing, press "Close" at the bottom left of the Samsung screen.
  • A dialog box now appears in the middle of the screen saying: "Do you want to close this whiteboard session?"
  • Press "Close"
  • The sharing is now complete
  • End the Zoom meeting via the Poly panel on the table
  • To turn off the Samsung screen, press and hold the POWER button.
