Use As A Usb Camera - Cisco Webex Desk Pro User Manual

Use as a USB Camera

The Cisco Webex Desk Pro may also be used as
a USB camera.
If you did not register your Desk Pro with Cisco,
you may use it as any other USB camera.
If you have registered the Desk Pro with Cisco,
you can still use it as a USB camera, but kindly
observe the following:
• The Desk Pro will enter do not disturb (DND)
mode when the software client starts using the
camera, and not when the cable is plugged.
• This will allow scenarios where a dedicated
computer is connected to the Desk Pro at all
times, but the Desk Pro can be still be used for
regular Cisco calls.
To use the Desk Pro as a USB camera, connect it
via a USB cable between your computer and the
USB-C socket on the Desk Pro.
This configuration will make use of the micro-
phones and the loudspeakers of the Desk Pro,
ensuring a great sound experience.
If you want to extend the configuration to include
an external monitor with this setup, connect your
computer to the monitor in your usual way.
Other Device Settings are also fully accessible,
with the exception of the Do Not Disturb, which
cannot be disabled on a Cisco registered Desk
Pro.

Used as USB Camera When Already Registered
When placing calls using a third party client, the
camera, microphone and loudspeakers are se-
lected based on the OS/app. defaults. You may
override these settings.
To maintain privacy, the camera light indicator will
be illuminated whenever the camera is active.
All other functionality is controlled by the third
party client.
Used as USB Camera When Not Registered
The first time you start up a Cisco video device,
the Setup Wizard will appear.
This wizard lets you specify how to register with
Cisco Services (Cloud or on-premises). The Desk
Pro provides the option of skipping the wizard if
you are going to use it as a USB device only.
Detailed instructions are provided on-screen to
show you how to do this.
If you later want to register the Desk Pro
with Cisco, go to Settings and select Device
Activation.
