Setting Up Your Camera, Audio, and Network

Choosing a Camera

You may need to use different cameras in different environments. For example, you may use a webcam with your laptop when you work from your office, but you need to use the laptop's built-in camera when you work from home. Instead of reconfiguring your video preferences, you can choose the camera to use before or during the call.

For information about choosing a webcam or video device for use with Polycom CMA Desktop, refer to the Release Notes for Systems, available at support.polycom.com.

For information about installing your webcam, refer to the documentation that came with your webcam.

To choose a camera for a call:

>>Click on the toolbar and choose the camera to use.

>>Do the following steps:

1.From the main window, click Menu > Preferences > Video.

2.Select the camera to use.
