In this example, the room name is: cabellb35.wp.vcu.edu

    NOTE: If you “Run VIA” it will not retain this information

2. Click the "+" next to the room name as it appears.

3. Please use your eID as the "nickname".

Known Limitations of the VIA Application

Video Playback - While technically possible with PCs or MacOS, wirelessly presenting video and audio content may have a significant delay or sync issues, or in some cases, will not work. The causes for this range from wireless bandwidth to operating system incompatibilities. If high-quality video/audio is required for presentation, it is recommended that you use an HDMI Cable.
