Once the webcam is set up, you can begin using it for video calls and recordings:

1. Initiating a Video Call: Open your preferred video conferencing application (e.g., Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, Skype for Business, WebEx, Lync, Cisco). Ensure the Logitech C925-E is selected as the active camera and microphone.
2. Video Quality: The webcam automatically provides HD 1080p video at 30 frames per second. The autofocus feature adjusts to keep you clear, and RightLight 2 technology optimizes lighting conditions.
3. Audio: The dual omnidirectional microphones capture clear audio within approximately one meter. Position yourself appropriately for best sound pickup.
4. Privacy Shade: To ensure privacy, slide the integrated privacy shade over the lens when the webcam is not in use. This physically blocks the camera view.
