Meeting Ready
Your Zoom Workplace is now configured to use the Drift X5 Series as a remote collaboration camera.
During the Zoom meeting, other participants can view the live POV video feed from the DRIFT camera and communicate directly with the person wearing the X5/X5 Mini through real-time two-way audio.
The meeting audio will be played through the Drift X5 Series, either via the built-in speaker or an external speaker connected to the camera.
Notes:
Once the X5 Series camera is configured with the DRIFT Video Hub, the connection settings will be saved to the camera’s memory card.
Each time the X5 Series camera is powered on with this memory card inserted, it will automatically read the saved configuration and attempt to connect to the DRIFT Video Hub.
If you no longer want to use the Video Hub connection mode, simply:
· Remove the memory card from the camera, or
· Delete all files and configuration data from the memory card.
After doing so, the X5 Series camera will return to its normal operating mode.
