If privacy is required during a videoconference, move the camera to a position in
the room where no one can be seen, such as the ceiling or a sign on the wall.
This can be set as “Preset 9” for easy access. Also ensure to put the
microphone on mute. Now any participating sites will not be able to see or hear
anything that is occurring in your room.
After a Videoconference:
When the telemedicine platform is a shared resource (i.e. being used in a
boardroom or meeting room), consideration should be given to securing the
remote control in a locked cabinet or in a location with limited access.
Where possible ensure the videoconference system is turned off and un-plugged.
If this is not practical ensure the camera is left pointed to a place where a person
will not be in view when a call comes in.
