If you need to be away from the a/v cabinet, there is also a long cable on the hook on the left side of the podium that may be used to connect to the laptop/device.
For audio with VGA, plug the 3.5mm audio cable into the headphone/audio out port on your laptop/device.

Press the Power button to boot up the laptop/device.
Select the source that you have the laptop plugged into - either VGA or HDMI.
Each source has two locations. The Lectern location is the podium-top cable cubby and the Aux location relates to the cable tether on the hook on the left side of the podium.
Once selected, the active source button will change to white.
