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. |
