Changing devices

During a session, you can switch the device for transmitting to the video layout with TrueConf Group "on the fly." To do this, press the button on the remote and select Device management. You can select either another webcam connected to the terminal or one of the capture card inputs.

If you need to frequently switch cameras during a call, it is recommended to set different angles for each camera and switch between them using a tablet or the numeric keys on a remote control for convenience.

To change the microphone or speakers used by the terminal, press the button on the remote control and select the desired devices in the Configuration → Devices → Audio section.

Managing the connected camera

During a call, you can wait for the control menu to disappear, or you can manually hide it using the menu button. After that, you can control the camera using the central arrow buttons on the remote and the zoom buttons.

You can switch between camera positions using the digital pad.

The administrator must set the numbered presets for the PTZ camera. For more details, read here.

Controlling the participant's camera

When you press the Far/Near button, the Far-end camera & DTMF menu will open, allowing you to select the desired participant. The logic for controlling the participant's camera is similar to that of controlling your own.
