Camera and Microphone Setup in Adobe Connect

Home › How-Tos › Camera and Microphone Setup in Adobe Connect

Setting up your camera and microphone

Your computer must have a microphone, or a camera with a built-in microphone, connected to be able to broadcast audio. Similarly, to broadcast video your computer must have a video or web camera connected to it. Use the following options to set up your camera and microphone from within the meeting room:

To select a camera:

  • From the “Meeting” menu select “Select Camera."
  • A settings window opens, with the "Camera" tab selected.
  • Select the camera that you want to use from the drop down menu.

  • If this is the first time during the meeting that you have selected to broadcast video, you will see a window pop up on the screen asking you to allow your video to be broadcast – click “Allow.”

  • Note: If no camera is connected, a “No Camera Found” message appears instead of the Camera pop-up menu. If you do have a camera connected but you get a "No Camera Found" message, check to be sure your camera is turned on and not being used by another application.
  • Click "Close."

Audio Setup Wizard

You can test your audio device to make sure it is turned on and set up for maximum performance in a meeting with the Audio Setup wizard. In the "Meeting"menu select "Audio Setup Wizard".

Follow the step-by-step on-screen directions and complete the activities as the wizard leads you through the audio setup.
