IPEVO Document Camera
In the simplified podium classrooms, the document camera is connected directly into the podium PC or laptop connection hub, instead of being its own input. This page will walk you through its software and how to use it in video conferencing applications as well.
You do not need to download the software if you would like to solely use it within conferencing software, like Zoom or Teams. Scroll to the Use as a Conference/Video Camera section below for more info.
