Adjust camera settings on your Room Device from a Touch Controller in Webex App

Camera settings allow you to control the amount of zooming, panning, and tilting that the camera performs. It is also possible to define and edit camera position presets from the camera control menu.

Camera settings allow you to adjust the zoom, tilt, and pan of the camera, as well as adjust the settings for the lens. The camera position presets can also be defined in this menu and it is also possible to edit them. You can access the camera settings on the home screen by tapping the camera icon.

Furthermore, the self-view, i.e. the image displayed on the screen from your system to the other participants, can also be toggled on and off, as well as minimized and maximized.

Camera Presets

By using the room device in your room, you can set up predefined zoom settings and directions for the camera in your room. The camera can be set up in a variety of presets depending on the type of meeting that you will be participating in. For example, if you were at a meeting with several participants, you may want a zoomed out preset, and if you were at a smaller meeting, you might need a zoomed in preset. By selecting the various presets from the camera settings menu, you can easily switch between them to find the one that best suits your needs.

Add Presets

1. In order to access the camera settings menu, tap the Camera icon. There is an automatic activation of the self-view feature.
2. You will need to adjust the tilt, pan, and zoom according to your needs.
3. Select Add New from the menu. A descriptive name should be given to the position.
4. Depending on whether you want the changes to take effect right away, or if you want to undo any changes that have already been made, tap Save, or tap Cancel.
5. To close the menu, simply tap anywhere outside of it in order to do so.

Presets can be edited at any time

Room Devices with Several Cameras

The position of more than one camera on a room device can be adjusted as you would a single camera if you are using a room device with more than one camera. From the drop-down menu that appears under the controls for Pan, Tilt, and Zoom, you can select which camera you wish to adjust.
