The mmhmm virtual camera can be selected, like any other camera, in your video conference application. See how you can set up your camera with Zoom and other web-based apps.
• Watermark – An identifying logo, signature, or design added to a work that names the owner or tool used to author it. The mmhmm logo watermark is shown on presentations but can be turned off if desired.
