Connecting To The Room's External Monitor (MAC)
Connecting To The External Monitor With A Mac
Step 1: Locate the HDMI cable laying out on the instructor desk. It may be attached to a USB-C adapter labeled with the room number. If your computer has an HDMI port, you may remove the adapter, set it to the side and plug the HDMI cable into your Mac. Otherwise, plug in the adapter to one of your Mac’s USB-C ports
Step 2: Your screen may flash, and you should see your display come up on the external monitor.
Step 3: To verify your monitor is connected properly, go to the settings app on your Mac. (Icon shown below)
Step 4: On the lefthand side, scroll down and select the “Displays” option. As shown in this screenshot you will see each display currently attached to your Mac. Your laptop’s screen will be labeled “Built-in-display” and the external monitor (unless it was named otherwise) will be labeled with its model number. In this case “VA249”.
Step 5: Select the external monitor by clicking on its representative image (outlined in orange in this screenshot)
Step 6: Scroll down until you see the setting for “Use As”. Verify that the option selected is “Extended Display” as shown in this image. If so, then you may exit the settings application. Your display is connected correctly.
Step 7: If the option selected is “Mirror for Built-in-Display” click on the drop down and select “Stop Mirroring”. Wait (the screen may blink) and you should see the option automatically switch to “Extended Display" as shown in Step 6 above. If so, then you may exit the settings application. Your display is connected correctly.
