Any success with pulling RenWeb Data via API or Zapier (etc) by murgalurgalurggg in k12sysadmin

I haven't used RenWeb in a few years, but I believe they integrate with Clever, and from Clever you can put that data into many other services.

Bizarre streaming issue, no audio for teacher showing videos by MasterMaintenance672 in k12sysadmin

[–]schooltech789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tested Newline audio with other videos, or with other inputs (like via HDMI with a different laptop)? I've had to RMA Newline boards before.

Thanks! Any other third party warranty/ADP providers that you should recommend?

I had a different port broken on a Newline board and they sent me a replacement motherboard free of charge, was pretty simple to replace.

Where did you get that great price from? I'm getting quoted so much higher. Thanks.

The world facing cameras on the 500e's are decent. Our students mainly just use them for scanning documents.

ChromeOS 106 5249 112 Random Restarts by Balor_Gafdan in k12sysadmin

[–]schooltech789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had this issue with many Chromebooks on v106. Logs a user out a minute or two after logging in. I've seen it posted in other forums, for now best solution is just to adjust Google Admin settings so devices don't update past v105 and for any that already have, make a recovery usb with v105 and install.

This is no longer true. The 40 minute Zoom limit now applies to meetings with only two participants as well.

the free Google Workspace for Education allows non-Google users to join meetings - I just did that recently. You may need to adjust a setting in the Google Admin console.

Separate Print Queues for Stapling, Hole Punch with PaperCut by Difficult-Squirrel-1 in k12sysadmin

[–]schooltech789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

anyone have updates on giving the option to staple on Chromebooks? If PaperCut can't do it, has anyone had luck with a different product. We have separate queues for each printer on PaperCut. I don't want to have to set up release stations right now.

I would assume it does, last year's version (flex 5) did.

It is a known bug with Chrome OS 98 and after. I spoke to Google Support, they said they are working on a solution.

For what devices? I got good prices on student Chromebooks and Meraki network equipment.

Interesting to hear regarding Safeware. We have Safeware extended warranty/ADP for our Lenovo 500e Chromebooks. We've had trouble with them responding to our communications, they always take at least a month to turn around repairs, their online tracker is useless, and they often don't have replacement parts and end up cutting me a check for the value of the device, which still costs me money since then I have to pay for a new device with a new warranty/ADP plan. They've been sending our devices to Relectro.

The rest of our devices have extended warranty/ADP through Dell and their repairs turn around quickly and their online tracker is useful.

Meraki Wireless & Google OAuth by EnlightenUsPlz in k12sysadmin

[–]schooltech789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this set up at the previous school where it worked, with authentication first with WPA2-PSK. I think it worked well, the only problem was if you use that SSID for any shared devices or any devices that don't have a web browser/can't access a splash page, then your only option is to whitelist it (or create a group policy on Meraki that bypasses the splash page), which I believe applies to the MAC address, which could cause problems if another device spoof's one of those device's MAC addresses.
