With a second camera, you show two angles at once, for example your face and a close-up of your hands on the keyboard or fretboard.
Connect it beforehand
Connect the second camera before you enter the classroom. That way your browser detects it right away.
How to connect the second camera
Step 1: Connect the camera to your computer via USB.
Step 2: Enter the classroom.
Step 3: In the classroom, click Settings at the bottom left.
Step 4: In the Audio/Video tab, choose your second camera under Second Video Input.
Both pictures now appear in the room. With View in the bar at the bottom, you adjust the layout.
Where do I put the second camera?
Instrument | Second camera |
Piano | Above the keyboard, so both hands are visible |
Guitar and bass | From the side or slightly above, on the fretboard and strumming hand |
Drums | From above or the side, on the snare and your feet |
Singing | From the side, so posture and breathing are visible |
The camera doesn't show up?
Check the cable and try a different USB port.
Check whether your computer detects the camera, for example in the camera app.
Reload the page so the browser looks for the camera again.
If the webcam has its own microphone, check under Audio Input that the right microphone is selected.
Tip
A flexible tripod or a boom arm makes it easy to find the perfect angle. More tips in How do I set up for singing, piano and guitar?
