Problem

You can't see Cisco Desk Camera in the camera list of your conferencing app. The camera doesn't display in the camera, audio, or video device list in Device Manager (Windows) or Hardware (macOS).

Solution

• Check if the USB connection is loose or disconnected. Dirt and debris can build up in the USB port so check if the port is blocked.

• Unplug your camera from your computer and reconnect it.

• Try a different USB port. Make sure that the USB port is fully functional. The camera doesn't support USB ports that only deliver power.

• Confirm that the USB cable or the connector isn't damaged. Try a different USB cable.

• If your camera is connected to a USB adapter, make sure the USB port of the adapter provides both power delivery and data transfer.

• Check if the USB drivers on your computer are up to date. Update them if there's a new version available.

• If you are using a computer with macOS, make sure that the Cisco Desk Camera app is allowed to use the camera and the microphone. Do the following actions to configure the settings:

  1. Go to Apple menu > System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy.

  2. Choose your camera on the Camera and Microphone panels respectively.

• If you connect the camera to the Thunderbolt port on a Lenovo computer, keep the port driver updated. Go to Lenovo Support for driver update.

  Frame rate drop occurs when using the camera on the Thunderbolt port.

• Restart your computer.

Problem

Your video quality that the meeting participants see is poor or subpar.

Solution

• The camera lens is protected with a cover glass. If you get a blurry image, check if the glass gets dirty. Gently wipe it with a soft microfiber cloth or lens tissue. If there's oily dirt on the glass, try with lens wipes or apply some lens cleaner on the cloth.

• Check your self-view image quality on the meeting app or on the camera app.

  • If the self view looks good, then the problem may be with the network bandwidth. Work with your network service provider to test your network performance and enhance the bandwidth.

    The network bandwidth determines the video resolution in Webex meetings or calls. If the bandwidth allows, the default resolution is 720P@30fps for Webex App or Webex Meetings, and 1080P@30fps for Webex Room devices.

  • If the quality of your self view looks bad, then adjust the resolution in the Cisco Desk Camera app.

Problem
