Having a class with a static room view could be boring or would not make the session engaging enough with the remote audience with regards to the speaker's actions or movements. With that in mind, we have enabled certain rooms with AI-powered PTZ Webcams.

PTZ Cameras has the ability to pan, tilt, and zoom (PTZ) and allow you to monitor a larger area of a room that would require multiple fixed cameras to achieve.

The deployed AI-powered PTZ Webcams has 2 main features which can help to have the meeting session more interactive.

Zoom

The AI-powered PTZ Webcam works based on a gesture required to enable and disable the Zoom feature. The Zoom feature supports up-to 2x Zoom.

The AI-powered PTZ Webcam works based on a gesture that enables or disables the AI Tracking feature.

Please be around 2 to 3 meters in front of the camera before making the gesture to enable/disable the feature.

Troubleshooting

Please try to locate where the camera is looking and stand in front of it. The location can be determined in the Teams Meeting Call Camera view.

The PTZ camera will only capture you even if there is more than 1 person in the camera’s view. with the help of AI; the camera will remember your face.

However, if a new user makes the same gesture to enable tracking, the camera will follow the new user.

If the PTZ camera has a yellow led indicator, it means the camera is losing the user’s focus. The user needs to get close to the camera to regain focus.

Below is a detailed explanation of each possible LED indicator
