External Bluetooth Device Connection
If your PC does not support Bluetooth, then you can use the Bluetooth in the JPL Agora to connect an
additional Bluetooth device, such as a speakerphone. Once paired to the PC, you can select to use the
speakerphone as your preferred audio device.
To connect an external Bluetooth speaker/microphone, rst make sure the external Bluetooth device is in
pairing mode and at the same time, plug the JPL Agora camera into the PC.
- Turn on the Bluetooth connectivity on your PC and the device name should appear in the list, click on it
to add the external speaker/microphone.
Video Enhancement
To achieve the best camera performance, there are a few thing you can do:
1. Do not sit in front of a window or other bright light source.
2. Having an uncluttered background will have your viewers concentrating on you rather than looking at
what you have in the background.
3. The mounting system allows for tilting and aiming the camera. Tilt and move the camera to frame up
everyone around the conference table.
4. Visit your preferred video calling provider’s website for exact information on system and requirements.
5. To get a smoother video, especially at high resolution, we recommend network speed above 2Mbps.
