This guide is designed to walk you through setting up your learning environment to display the TechSmart Platform and Zoom.
Setting Up Your Split Screen
If you are unable to utilize a second monitor this summer, setting your computer up to use split screen is crucial to being successful during bootcamps. By using split screen, you will be able to see what is being shared by your instructors in the Zoom meeting and see the TechSmart Platform at the same time.
Each operating system has a slightly different set of steps required to use split screen. Click the appropriate link below to follow the steps for your computer's operating system.
Mac OS
- Hover your pointer over the full-screen button (green circle) in the upper-left corner of a window or click and hold the button.
