When presenting in-person at a meeting held in the Fairfax County Government Center Board Auditorium, you may use one of these 3 presentation methods:

Laptop via ClickShare

The Board Auditorium is equipped with a ClickShare screensharing device. ClickShare buttons work with almost all laptops, but you should also bring a copy of your presentation on a USB memory stick as a backup.

1. When you arrive, ask a camera operator for a ClickShare “button” and directions.
2. This “button” plugs into your laptop via the USB port and runs a small program from the USB.
3. You are ready to share your presentation, which may include:
   
   PowerPoint or similar presentation software, which can contain video and audio
   Pictures
   Videos (can contain audio)
    
4. Press the ClickShare button to send your materials to the TV booth.
5. When the button is red, the TV booth can see your desktop.
6. After you introduce yourself and start speaking, the TV booth will show your visuals.
7. You, or someone you bring with you, will need to advance your slides or photos.
8. When you are finished presenting, push the ClickShare button to turn it white, unplug the USB and return it to the Camera operator seated in the auditorium.

Phone / Tablet via HDMI

The TV booth in the Board Auditorium has HDMI adapters for certain common phones and tablets.

1. When you arrive, ask a camera operator for assistance with connecting and testing your device.
2. After you introduce yourself and start speaking, the TV booth will show your visuals.

Physical Items via Document Camera

A document camera is available to present physical items, such as printed photos or paper maps.

1. Provide advanced notice of at least 24 hours to the Dept. of Clerk Services; a document camera can be supplied for special presenting needs.
2. The document camera has zoom and focus controls for optimal framing of objects, photos, and similar items.
