How To Use
- User your own laptop or one of the Laptops
- Connect to the Projector and screen
- Plug in the webcams
- In Windows, open the camera app
- The top right camera icon allows you to switch between cameras
- Make sure you are in Take Video mode, not camera mode (Camera node will keep drawing a distracting box around objects in view)
If you are also presenting in PowerPoint at the same time, you can’t easily switch between the PowerPoint and the camera - it blanks out for a few seconds every time you switch.
This works:
- Open the contents in Desktop 1
- Create Desktop 2
- Open the camera in Desktop 2
- Use the Windows key with the right and left arrows to switch between PowerPoint and the camera
