Content from Camera Now Launched in Teams

Sharing and Projection Improved

Microsoft has announced that content from camera will soon be available in Teams, meaning users will be able to stream content directly from physical artefacts such as whiteboards and documents in a legible way. During a Teams call, users will be able to access the projection options simply by clicking Share > Content from Camera.

Two key projection options:

Whiteboard Mode – Users can point their laptop webcam to their whiteboard to project it to their audience. If the camera detects a whiteboard in view, it is straightened, zoomed in and the presenter’s hand or body does not block the content as they write on it.

Document mode – Users can attach an external USB camera, such as a document camera, mounted over a document, to project to their audience.

Users will be able to set up a laptop, with the whiteboard in view, or setup a document camera over a paper/book and project their content, (live or static) to their desired audience.
