Camera
Surface Pro has two cameras. You can use the front-facing camera for Skype calls, and the rear-facing camera to
record meetings and events. When Surface Pro is positioned on a desk using the first kickstand position (Surface
Pro 2 has two kickstand positions, Surface Pro has one), the rear-facing camera points straight ahead.
