Overview

Microsoft Surface Hubs have been deployed across the University to support flexible, mobile collaboration. They are designed to provide a streamlined Microsoft Teams experience for meetings, group work, and teaching activities.

Features:

• Large interactive touchscreen – supports multi-touch for collaborative work.
• Surface Hub Pen – a stylus for annotation, sketching, and whiteboarding. The pen is magnetic and attaches securely to the side of the Hub when not in use.
• Integrated AV hardware – high-quality camera, microphone array, and speakers for clear video and audio.
• Built-in Microsoft Teams integration – quick access to meetings, calls, and shared files.
• Microsoft Whiteboard app – digital whiteboard that can be saved and shared.
• Flexible power options – can be run from AC power or its integrated battery, making it easy to move between spaces.
• Portability – mounted on a mobile stand so it can be wheeled into different rooms when needed.

Typical Use Cases:

• Small group meetings and “huddle” sessions.
• Teaching activities that require annotation or shared whiteboarding.
• Hybrid meetings with both in-room and remote participants.
• Breakout activities where a fixed meeting room isn’t practical.

How to Use:

• Power on the Surface Hub using the control button on the side.
• Log in with your University credentials to access Teams and OneDrive.
• Start or join a Teams meeting directly from the Hub.
• Use the touchscreen or Surface Hub Pen for interaction and annotation.

• Save or share whiteboard notes and meeting content directly through Teams.

   

Ensure you sign out when you have finished the session, you data could be at risk if you don't.
