Share My Camera
Share your camera and meet face-to-face with other attendees. Up to 50 (desktop app or web), 20 (iOS app), or 8 (Android app) cameras can be shared at once.
Troubleshooting: If you don't see the option to share your camera, the organizer may have disabled the feature. The maximum resolution is 1920p x 960p. If your webcam resolution is too high, you will see a "failed to connect" error message and will need to use a different webcam.
Attention: The navigation has been improved, but the settings shown in this video are the same.
Desktop app or web
Before you begin: Make sure you have allowed
GoTo Training access permission as needed.
Before you join the
training, you are taken to a
Camera preview screen where you can select
Camera ahead of time and adjust your camera preferences if desired.
- While in a session, select Camera in the lower toolbar. This will automatically share the default webcam device.
Tip: To preview your camera before sharing, select
> Camera. Then select Share to begin sharing with others.
- If you have multiple webcam devices, select
> Camera to preview and choose your device. Alternatively, you can use the Camera menu in the lower toolbar.
- Use the Camera menu to access other options such as virtual background or Mirror my video.
Tip: Mirror my video is helpful if you are presenting something in the background (like a whiteboard) or your virtual background includes text. Disabling this setting allows you to view yourself/the text the way others do (by default, a reversed image of yourself is displayed when you share your camera). This does not impact how other participants view you, it only impacts your view of your video.
- To stop sharing, select Camera again.
