Webcam
Your computer includes an integrated webcam, located at the top of the display. The webcam is an input
device that allows you to capture and share video.
To use the webcam, click the HP MediaSmart icon on the desktop, select the video icon on the
MediaSmart SmartMenu, and then click Webcam.
NOTE: For more information on using HP MediaSmart, click Start > Help and Support, and type
MediaSmart in the Search field.
For optimum performance, observe the following guidelines while using the webcam:
●
If you are having trouble viewing or sending multimedia files to someone on another LAN or outside
your network firewall, temporarily disable the firewall, perform the task you want to perform, and
then reenable the firewall. To permanently resolve the problem, reconfigure the firewall as
necessary, and adjust the policies and settings of other intrusion detection systems.
●
Whenever possible, place bright light sources behind the camera and out of the picture area.
