When the document camera is hooked up to the computer, teachers will need to use software so that it can be projected in Google Meet. Once it is in Meet, teachers can use it for live or recorded instruction. They can use "IPEVO Visualizer" software (which seems very good and more widely used) and download it for free: https://www.ipevo.com/software/visualizer Teachers can also try software which was shared by Elmo: https://imagemate-c.com/ It is also free and allows teachers to use a variety of tools with the document camera.
