Share my camera

Share your camera and meet face-to-face with other attendees.

GoTo

Desktop app or web

Up to 25 (desktop app or web) cameras can be shared at once.

Before you begin: Make sure you have allowed GoTo Webinar access permission as needed.
Before you join the webinar, you are taken to a Camera preview screen where you can select Camera ahead of time and adjust your camera preferences if desired.
  1. 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 Settings icon > Camera. Then select Share to begin sharing with others.
  2. If you have multiple webcam devices, select Settings icon > Camera to preview and choose your device. Alternatively, you can use the Camera menu in the lower toolbar.
  3. Optional: Zoom your camera in using the slider, and then pan your camera as desired by using either the arrows or by dragging and dropping the image to the preferred location.
    Note: This feature works with our blurred and virtual backgrounds and will only pan what's in the forefront. It also works seemlessy with efficiency mode and various camera resolutions as it is not dependent on your camera hardware or drivers. Any alterations to the camera zoom/pan settings will persist between sessions.
  4. 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.
  5. To stop sharing, select Camera again.
If you aren't seeing the webcams option, these are the most likely causes:
  • You are not a staff member. By default, only presenters, panelists and organizers can share their webcams during a webinar.
  • Your webcam is not plugged in. Make sure it's plugged in properly. You can also try unplugging it and then plugging it back in to make sure GoTo Webinar detected it. If it is still not working, then there might be an issue with your webcam itself.
  • The wrong device is selected. Check the Webcam/Camera tab in your toolbar or Control Panel and use the drop-down menu to select your webcam. It's possible that the wrong device was selected by default.
  • You might be in flexible layout mode. If you are in flexible layout mode, you might not have selected the camera feed pop out or it might be hidden. Either merge the windows or open the camera pane.

Mobile app

Up to 20 cameras (iOS app) or 16 cameras (Android app) can be shared at once.
  1. Open the GoTo mobile app on your device.
  2. Start or join a webinar.
  3. Select Camera > Turn camera on.
  4. To stop sharing, select Camera again.

Classic

If you are sharing your camera and decide to share a video as well, the GoTo Webinar Webcams window will split from the main Viewer if you are on a Windows computer. If you are a Mac presenter, your shared webcam will be disabled once you begin sharing a video.
Note: This feature is only available for staff members (Presenters, panelists and organizers).
  1. To preview your camera before sharing, open the Preferences window, and then select the Webcam tab.

    Result: If you have a camera connected, you will see a preview of it under Webcam Setup. Should multiple camera's be connected, you can select the desired one to use. From the Advanced button, make any desired changes such as updating the resolution or zooming in/out.

  2. To share your camera, select Share My Webcam from the Webcam pane or select the Webcams drop-down menu, and then select Share My Webcam.
    Tip: You can also select the Webcam button from the Grab Tab (it wil turn green when sharing successfully) or right-click your name from the Attendee pane and then select Share My Webcam.
  3. To pause your camera, select the Pause icon at the top of your webcam box in the Viewer. Select the Play icon to resume sharing.

    Result: When you pause camera sharing, other attendees will still see the webcam box with your name, but the screen will be blacked out until you resume sharing. This does not free up a webcam spot (e.g., if all 50 webcam spots are filled, another attendee will not be able to start sharing their webcam).

  4. To stop sharing your camera, select the Stop icon at the top of your webcam box in the Viewer or select the Webcams drop-down menu, and then select Stop Sharing My Webcam.
    Tip: You can also select the Webcam button from the Grab Tab (it wil turn gray when turned off) or right-click your name from the Attendee pane and then select Stop Sharing My Webcam.

    Result: When you stop sharing your camera, your webcam box will disappear and the webcam spot will be freed for another staff member to share their own camera.

  5. To send camera requests to staff members, select the Webcam icon from the Attendee pane, or right-click the desired name, and then select Send Webcam Request from the drop-down menu.
    Restriction: This feature is available to organizers and staff members only.
What to do next: If desired, you can change your webcam feed and preferences. You can also view our Webcam and video conferencing FAQs for any other questions you might have.
