    • Plug in the power cable and connect the USB to your classroom PC

    • Press the Power button on the base of the camera until the light turns on

  2. Open the Viewing Software

    • Use QOMO’s QCamera software (already installed on most podium PCs)

    • In your app (Zoom, QCamera, etc.), choose “QOMO QPC22” or similar from the camera options
