How to select a scope or camera in a Video Call
Select a medical camera or scope to share into your call
There are a number of ways to share a camera or scope into a Video Call, depending on your clinical requirements. The examples below outline the available options:
|
1. A health service provider with a patient can plug in a USB device, click on the Settings cog (highlighted at bottom left) to open the Settings drawer and select the device as their camera (switch camera). This will replace their camera feed so the specialist at the other end will no longer see them or their patient on the screen.
They can also switch their camera by clicking on the switch camera icon in the bottom left call controls. |
 |
|
2. During a Video Call, a specialist or doctor can request a camera from a health service provider who is with a patient. To do this they go to Apps & Tools and select Request a camera. |
 |
|
Once requested, the health service provider who is with the patient will see this screen. They click on Select a camera to share.
|
 |
| From the list of available cameras, they then select the medical device to share into the call. With this workflow, all participants will remain on the screen when the scope or probe shares into the call. |  |
| The specialist viewing the shared camera has the option to select a Video Quality, as highlighted in the bottom image under the shared camera image. Many scopes are Full High Definition, so High can be selected. |  |
|
3. A health service provider with a patient can share a Document Camera into the call, however please note this option supports a camera with high resolution but has a low frame rate - so if there is any movement this will make the image appear blurry. Click on Share Document Camera in Apps & Tools and a selection box will display showing the available cameras for your device. Select the required camera and it will be added into the call. |
