Plug in the webcam
Select the “Help Center” option
You will be asked to run a webcam check or an environmental room scan, find instructions here. Select yes if you see image. If now, you may need to select a different webcam from the options in Respondus (NOTE: this is if you have an external webcam plugged into a laptop or desktop that comes with a built in web camera)
You will be prompted to record a 5 second video
You may also do a sound check to ensure that all sound works properly.
Once both sound and video are confirmed to working, you may section the “x” button on the “Help Center” window.
