Document Camera - Image Rotation

The Document Camera was designed to capture an image of physical items relative to the presenter's point of view. When re-purposing the document camera to stream video of the instructor and/or presentation content, the image may appear upside-down/inverted. To correct the orientation of the image, an adjustment can be made within Zoom.

Microsoft Teams

In MS Teams, no image rotation settings are currently available. The use of the Document Camera in portrait mode for MS Teams sessions is not recommended.
