Streaming from a classroom in Hinds Hall, you will have three (3) options for setting up your recording on the computer.

(1) Lecture - Both audio input (microphone) / audio output (speaker) will use the headset
(2) Discussion - Audio input (microphone) will use the classroom mic / audio out (speaker) will use the classroom speakers
(3) Hybrid - Audio input → (headset) | Audio output → (classroom speakers)
