Use Vizo as a virtual camera in Zoom, Teams, or Meet

A virtual camera lets meeting apps treat Vizo’s Present view as a camera source. You stay in Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, or another call app, and they see the document-camera (or webcam) picture you framed in Vizo — without relying only on Share Screen.

Turn on the virtual camera in Vizo

1. Connect the document camera or webcam and open Vizo.
2. Start Present so the paper is sharp.
3. In the title bar, click the second button from the right — that switch turns the virtual camera on.
4. Leave Present running while you join the meeting.

If the feed is blank, allow camera access for Vizo in System Settings, then quit and reopen Vizo.

Pick Vizo in common meeting apps

In each app, open camera / video settings and choose Vizo (or the Vizo virtual camera name) instead of the built-in FaceTime camera.

• Zoom — Video settings → Camera → Vizo. Or use the in-meeting camera menu.
• Microsoft Teams — Devices / Camera → Vizo before or during the call.
• Google Meet — More options → Settings → Video → Camera → Vizo (Chrome or the Meet app).
• Cisco Webex — Camera selector → Vizo.
• Skype — Audio & Video settings → Camera → Vizo.
• Slack huddles / calls — Camera menu → Vizo when the call UI offers a device list.
• Discord — Voice & Video → Camera → Vizo (for camera-style shares).

Other Zoom-like classroom or webinar apps work the same way: if they list system cameras, Vizo should appear after the title-bar switch is on.

Virtual camera vs Share Screen

• Virtual camera — the meeting app thinks Vizo is your webcam. Best when you want the paper in the “camera” tile next to your face layout, or the host locks cameras.
• Share Screen / window — share the Present window instead. See share a document camera in Zoom when that path fits better.
• RTMP Live — a different job (streaming to a host). Do not use Live for a normal class call.

Tips

• Keep only one app using the virtual camera at a time if the feed freezes.
• Draw or PiP in Vizo before or during the call — see draw while presenting and picture-in-picture.
• Still choosing software? Mac document camera software.
