Best Practices
Keep these limitations in mind when you set up and use your Webex Desk Camera.
• Your device needs a dry and well-ventilated space. Webex Desk Camera operates at 32° to 104°F (0° to
40°C).
• Don't expose the device to water or liquids as they could damage your camera.
• Keep the USB drivers on your computer up to date.
• Make sure the USB port that you connect your camera to provides both power delivery and data transfer.
• Use the camera in appropriate lighting. A bright backlighting or front lighting may cause underexposure
or overexposure on your video image. If you can't change the lighting, then you manually adjust the
brightness with the Webex Desk Camera app.
