Specifying Camera Preferences

Setting camera preferences lets you specify the camera to use and how it works with your system.

To specify camera preferences:

  1. From the main window, click Menu and choose Preferences > Video.
  2. Select the camera to use:

    Setting Description
    None Use no camera
    Automatic Let the system automatically select a camera
    Specify Choose the camera from a list of installed cameras

     

  1. Click Preview to preview the video for the selected camera. To adjust the video you see, click Configure to go to the camera controls provided by the camera's manufacturer.
  2. Specify whether to display full screen video on the second monitor, if you have one.
  3. Specify whether to allow video calls when no camera is connected to your computer.

    This setting lets you place and receive video calls even when your camera is not connected or when the camera selection is set to None. In this type of call, you see the far-site video, and the far site sees the Polycom CMA Desktop logo.

  4. Specify whether your computer supports DirectX hardware acceleration.
  5. If your system is using Windows Vista or Windows 7, specify whether to disable the Aero theme when you send content.
