  2. What is an Elmo? • An Elmo is a document camera. It is called an Elmo because the Elmo Company has proprietary rights. • The Smart Document Camera and AverMedia Document Cameras are also known by their proprietary information. • Be sure you know that all document cameras are just that…document cameras. Only the proprietary name changes, but not the function.

  3. Where do I begin?

  4. Tips • What if my projector and laptop computer aren’t communicating? Most laptops have to be “told” a projector is connected. This is usually holding the Function (Fn) key and F4/F8 (dependent on model) • You may have to toggle between the camera/PC button on the Elmo. • If there is any issue, always check connections first. 
