AV Runbook

For campus AV and instructional technology teams

Classroom AV guides that faculty read and support teams can maintain

Many rooms, different gear in each, and an instructor with five minutes before class. Give every room a QR code that explains it.

Start here, free

Upload one photo of a lectern or rack and see the gear AV Runbook recognizes. No account or card.

You get a starter runbook by email.

One QR code, two audiences

Faculty need the short version. Your support team needs the full one. Each room carries both.

Faculty: start the room

How to wake the room and pick a source.

Faculty: bring a laptop

Which cable or wireless option works, and how to use the microphone and volume.

Faculty: get help

Who to call, and what to say about the room.

Support: gear manual

A manual for every unit in the room, so the help desk resolves more calls.

Support: known fixes

The first thing to check for the faults that come up again and again.

Support: new hires

Power order and room setup that a new technician can learn from in the first week.

Rooms change. The guide should keep up.

When a projector is swapped or a room is refreshed over the summer, take a new photo and the guide is rewritten from the gear it sees. No more PDFs that describe equipment that left two years ago.
