Turn Your iPhone or iPad Into a Document Camera in Zoom using the Overviewer app

The ability to have a document camera by your side during remote learning has been extremely beneficial. However, a number of teachers still come up asking if they know where I can find a cheap one or if I know anyone who has one "lying around".

Well, if you have an iPhone or iPad and use Zoom - the Overviewer app is a great and free alternative. What I really like about this app is the ability to rotate your screen easily to landscape and zoom in and out. 


Once you start Zoom and screen share you then have options at the bottom of the screen (see embedded picture below). 
    
select the three dots for settings (see picture below)
flashlight
orientation
depending on type of iPhone the far right deals with different lenses


Embedded below is a followed by a 2 minute and 7 second YouTube tutorial followed by a tutorial that the creator made (very informative and easy to follow).

Good follow as well on Twitter to stay up-to-date - https://twitter.com/OverviewerApp.





Take care,
Brad
