¶ ThinOX Control Panel
Go to the Control Panel, many controls have to be configured to use the webcam.
¶ Webcam module
Open the Webcam module and be sure the "Enable Webcam" option is selected.
The Webcam module is enabled by default in the thin client.
Use the "Test" button to test the webcam.
¶ VMware View USB
To prevent the redirection of the webcam via the "USB Redirection", you have to configure it correctly.
From the "VMware View USB" module unflag the two options "Audio Devices" and "Video Devices". This configuration allows to manage the webcam (video device) and eventually the microphone (audio device) directly by the thin client.
You can also click on Exception list to access the exception device list and configure more precisely not to share the device. E.g. USB Peripherals belonging to the Interface Level class need to be added to the exception list in order to specify whether to be exported or not (Praim suggests to not export them).
You will see the inserted webcam (and eventually the microphone mounted on it; this depends on the webcam model); select the device and click on "Add to Ex.list".
Be sure to select the Never Export exception option and click on OK. Repeat this operation for the audio device mounted by the webcam (if present).
¶ Sound Configuration
Some webcam will mount not only a video device but also an audio device (e.g. microphone).
To be sure to use the microphone correctly on the thin client you have to start the "Sound Configuration" module.
From the "Input Device" list select the USB microphone and click on "OK".
¶ Webcams who have had positive feedback
Table of webcam models who have had working positive feedback. These are supported for sure.
