Troubleshooting
I don’t see the camera listed as an option.
Make sure the USB cable from the camera is connected to the Dock or the Teaching Station, whichever you plan to use.
The camera isn’t keeping up with me when I move in the classroom.
The camera focuses on your voice more than your image. If you plan to walk around the classroom, it may not follow you for a moment and then skip over to you quickly. If you have it pointed towards the students and multiple people are talking, it will pan out to a wider angle to try to get all the people talking in view.
