For your reference, all 159 central classrooms are Panopto and Zoom ready.  Although a few of them do not come with a ceiling-mounted camera (due to the physical room limitation), all the classroom PCs are equipped with a built-in microphone and camera.  Also, Panopto recorder and Zoom meeting software packages have been pre-installed.  For looking at individual room’s details, here is the link:

Besides, all these PCs are linked up with the audio and microphone system inside the classroom.  In other words, Zoom and Panopto can record the audio not only through the PC built-in microphone but also the wireless clip or handheld microphone.  In case teachers look for a portable camera or associated devices, they can also loan one from LES at KK Leung (2/F) LES shopfront counter.  Here are the available models:

Finally, if teachers look for special setup inside the classrooms, they are welcome to book our service at askles@hku.hk.  More contact information is available here:
