Folks,
I have a HP Compaq 6300 I am using as a DVR terminal to my DVR which is
elsewhere on the property. The 6300 just displays the critical camera

My issue is that I am trying to figure out how to use the camera on the

If you look at the pavucontrol microphone settings - while you speak to the
microphone - you should see the mic output level changing. Adjust the
slider so that the peak mic volume reaches about half the scale.

It is useful, as we move from live meetings to online meetings, to evaluate
which parts of the process can be managed synchronously and which can be
asynchronous. When we are discussing, asking questions and building
