Rooms + Spaces

• Plugging in — Connect your device directly to any available monitor using a USB-C Thunderbolt cable. If the monitor does not turn on immediately, you may need to open your laptop and approve the device connection.
• Adjustments — The monitors are mounted on height- and tilt-adjustable arms and can be carefully adjusted to fit your preferences. Please use extreme care when moving or adjusting the monitors, as the screens are fragile and can crack easily.
• Cables and accessories — The right two cabinets of the Crosby entrance credenza contain a variety of cables, multi-cables, spare mice, and keyboards. If you need something that you don’t see, please ask.

• Adjustments — To adjust the height of your desk, use the control panel located to the right of the chair. Press the up arrow to raise the desk and the down arrow to lower it.
• Troubleshooting — If a desk feels uneven or will not move up and down, first check that it is plugged in and that the cable connection underneath the desk is secure. If the issue continues, or the desk still feels uneven, press and hold both the up and down arrows at the same time. The desk will begin moving downward and will beep once it has been fully reset.
• Desk Wheels — All desks are equipped with four wheels to make moving furniture around the space easier. To help with frequent furniture adjustments, only the two wheels on the chair side of the desk need to be locked. However, some desks may have all four wheels locked, so you may need to unlock all wheels before moving the desk. Please always lock the desks after moving them.
  • Wheel lock positions:
    • Lever in the upright position = unlocked
    • Lever in the down position = locked
• Desk Drawers — Desks equipped with monitors have a small drawer attached underneath the center of the desk. Inside, you will find a keyboard, mouse, notebook, pen, and sometimes the Thunderbolt connection cable (if it is not already plugged into the back of the monitor). If you need additional tech accessories or chargers, they are located in the right-most two cabinets of the wooden credenza between the bathrooms.

The Teleprompter setup is ready to use. Please follow the steps below when starting your recording session.

1. Connect Your Laptop

1. Plug the provided USB-C/Thunderbolt cable into your laptop at the desk setup.
2. Confirm your laptop is connected to the monitors, camera, and Teleprompter.
3. Wait a moment for your laptop to recognize the equipment.

2. Open Elgato Camera Hub

1. Download Elgato Camera Hub if you do not already have it:
   https://www.elgato.com/downloads
2. Open Camera Hub.
3. Select the Teleprompter device.
4. Add your script or notes into the Teleprompter window.

3. Adjust Your Settings

• Increase/decrease font size for readability.
• Adjust scroll speed to match your speaking pace.
• Position yourself so you are looking naturally toward the camera while reading.

• Carmen McRae Conference Room (also known as the “Front” Conference Room) — Located directly east when positioned at the Crosby Street entrance. Includes a 64” presentation monitor that is compatible with AirPlay. To connect via AirPlay, select either “Apartment Lounge” or “Carmen McRae.”
  • Music — This is the only conference room with Sonos speaker capabilities and runs on its own independent speaker group. You can pause or adjust music in this room without affecting the rest of the office. Please review the “SOUND” section of the Field Guide to confirm the room is on its own individual “line/grouping” before making adjustments.
• George Gershwin Conference Room — Located directly west of the kitchen. Includes a 64” presentation monitor that is compatible with AirPlay and HDMI-to-USB-C connection via the cable located on the table. To connect via AirPlay, your laptop must be connected to the same network as the TV (Automattic-Guest).
• Bud Powell Conference Room (Black Paint) — Located between the Nursing Room and the Zoom Rooms. Includes a 98” presentation monitor with a wireless connection box that acts as the TV’s HDMI port. To connect, plug your laptop into the HDMI-to-USB-C cable connected to the box. This room does not have AirPlay capabilities at the moment.

Each conference room is equipped with a Meeting Owl, a 360-degree video conferencing camera that automatically detects and focuses on the active speaker to create a more natural meeting experience.

1. Connect your device using the Thunderbolt cable provided in the room.
2. Once your meeting has started, open your camera settings (where you turn your camera on/off) and select Meeting Owl as your video source.
3. You can also select Meeting Owl as your audio source to use the built-in microphone and speaker.

For hybrid meetings, the Meeting Owl acts as an additional participant on the call — the camera provides remote attendees with a full view of the room and helps them feel connected to what is happening in the physical space.
