Adding a Camera as a New Slide

To add a camera as a full new slide in VideoCom Presenter:

click the + Add Slide button at the upper-left corner.

In the dropdown menu, go to Camera > select the name of the webcam you wish to add.

Cameras added as a new slide cannot be resized and will always take up the entire slide screen area.

Adding a Camera as a Slide Overlay

To add a camera over an existing slide:

Go to your preferred slide.

Click the Camera icon in the toolbar at the upper-right portion of the app.

Choose the webcam you wish to add to the slide. A webcam window should appear on the slide, which is positioned at a default location.



To reposition the webcam window, click and hold on its frame, then drag it to the desired location on the slide. You can place it in a corner, centered, or any other position that suits your presentation design.

Color

Brightness
Adjusting brightness changes the overall lightness or darkness of your webcam. When you increase brightness, the entire camera becomes brighter, while reducing brightness makes it darker.

Contrast
Adjusting contrast changes the difference between the lightest and darkest areas of your camera. When you increase contrast, the brighter areas of the camera become brighter and the darker areas become darker, making the camera look more dynamic and vivid. Conversely, reducing contrast makes the bright areas less bright and the dark areas less dark, resulting in a flatter and less detailed camera image.

Hue
Adjusting hue changes the overall color balance of your camera. The hue is a specific attribute of color that indicates its position on the color spectrum, such as red, blue, or green. When you adjust the hue, you shift the colors in the camera toward a different part of the color spectrum.

Saturation
Adjusting saturation changes the intensity or vibrancy of colors in your camera. When you increase saturation, the colors become more intense and vibrant, while reducing saturation makes the colors more muted and less intense.

Transparency
Adjusting transparency changes the degree to which your camera source is visible or allows other elements to show through it. When you decrease transparency, the camera source becomes more see-through.

Layout

Rotate
Allows you to rotate the angle of your camera between -180 and +180 degrees

Flip Horizontally
Click this icon to add a mirror effect to your camera.

Cropping

Cropping allows you to manually adjust the visible portion of your camera. You can crop from the top, bottom, left, and right using this option.
