2. Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to your computer or to an adapter if needed (usually hdmi to usb-c) for your computer. 

3. Press the HDMI button on the White control panel. If HDMI 1 does not give a picture please try HDMI 2 (if available). 

Sound Setup (For Apple TV and HDMI Setups)

The sound should now be going through your classroom speakers. If it is not please check your system settings on your computer.

Navigate to the sound options and make sure the output is set to the Apple TV you are using or the projector/HDMI option (if you are using an HDMI connection).
