Web Camera

  1. Plug in web cam into USB port (should take about 30 seconds to show up so should probably do this before the talk starts)
  2. Double click Logitech QuickCam on the desktop
  3. Click the movie/person icon on the top to open the video window
  4. Make sure the ‘Select Image Size’ says (VGA) 640x480 (too big and its slow too small and its hard to read)
  5. If the focus is off, hit the button with the 2 gears to open the settings menu. Make sure ‘Auto Focus’ is OFF and slide the manual focus around till you find something that’s comfortable. Hit the gears icon again and the settings window will go away.
