This is Pete and I've got another Jaws tip for you.

01:10.160 --> 01:14.840
This time I want to introduce you to a really cool feature that you.

01:14.880 --> 01:17.352
Might want to think about using before.

01:17.456 --> 01:20.088
You make your next Zoom teams or.

01:20.144 --> 01:26.716
Any other type of video call. It's another JAWS layered feature and it's.

01:26.748 --> 01:28.760
Called Face in View.

01:30.020 --> 01:34.380
We all know, I'm sure, how much video calls have become a standard form.

01:34.420 --> 01:40.588
Of communication all over the place these days. At work, in school or college, even.

01:40.644 --> 01:43.052
In personal relationships like being part of.

01:43.076 --> 02:03.810
A family get together where you've got members all over the place, but you still want to celebrate a big occasion or just reunite to catch up before you get onto that video call, wouldn't it be nice if you can make sure that your camera is correctly focused on you so that others on the call can see you?

02:04.350 --> 02:05.878
Kind of embarrassing, isn't it?

02:05.934 --> 02:07.862
If someone on your call tells you.

02:07.966 --> 02:09.862
Hey, your camera is looking at the.

02:09.886 --> 02:34.210
Floor, maybe it's ceiling, or maybe you're looking out the window or a wall so it's not looking at you, is it? Enter Face in View to help you by alerting you to key visual details like Is my face centered in the view? Am I looking directly at the camera? Is the lighting adequate?

02:34.370 --> 02:36.562
Are there maybe some additional items in.

02:36.586 --> 02:42.562
The picture that maybe should or should not be there? So to activate Face in View, what.

02:42.586 --> 02:47.428
You do is you press Jaws key plus space followed by F as in.

02:47.484 --> 03:31.186
Frank for face in View and then O as in open. This will activate your camera. Once enabled, Face in View continually monitors your face position and the lighting levels. If anything changes, such as tilting your head left or right, or maybe there's a change in brightness level, Face in View will let you know what's happening and you'll get feedback. Also to help you move your camera around to make sure it's in fact, pointing in the right position. And one thing I've noticed when I'm doing this is that very often Face.

03:31.258 --> 03:34.402
View will say no face, but it.

03:34.426 --> 04:04.820
Does say centered a lot of the time. And when I've gone on to video calls, folks at the other end will tell me that they can see me just fine, even though I'm hearing no face. So as long as you hear centered before you close Face in View, you should be okay to do your video call. Once you are satisfied that the camera view is right, the brightness level is right, all you have to do is.

04:04.860 --> 04:07.876
Press JAWS key plus space followed by.

04:07.948 --> 04:23.492
F again and then the letter O and that will exit Face in View prior to you making the call. And it's really important that you do that because one thing to keep in mind is that Face View needs complete.

04:23.556 --> 04:25.044
Access to the camera.

04:25.172 --> 04:32.052
You can't run it while you're actually on the video call. So if it's possible, it would be.

04:32.076 --> 04:33.748
A good idea if you could get.

04:33.804 --> 05:19.420
To your computer a few minutes ahead of time in order to work with Face View to make things right before you're on the call. Now, once you activate the Face in View layer by doing that Jaws key plus space F. There are other options available as well. Once it's open to, say, the current brightness level, you would do insert space F plus L. If you want to use Picture Smart to describe what the camera is seeing, you do Jaws key plus space F and then P for Picture Smart.

05:20.240 --> 05:21.608
Now, what's going to happen here?

05:21.664 --> 06:20.336
Picture Smart will take a picture of your background. They're not going to be as accurate as what you get when you use Picture Smart to describe a photo. Let's say the intention of having PictureSmart available here is to offer hints about what's in the range of your camera view just to help you make sure it's oriented right and there isn't any unnecessary stuff in the picture, by the way. As an aside, here I am planning to get more into all of the other features of Picture Smart and another Jaws tip real soon. But I digress as an example of how I've personally been helped with this Picture Smart feature here. One time I was setting up things for Video Call and Picture Smart told me that my camera was seeing what was outside my office window, the windows.

06:20.368 --> 06:22.362
To the right of me, meaning that.

06:22.386 --> 06:48.758
The camera wasn't looking straight at me. So that helped me correct the angle of the camera so that it was pointed more directly at me, not looking at the beautiful day it was outside. Another function that you can do here is adjust confidence level so that the camera can be more accurate when trying to point out the location of your face. You do that by doing Jaws key.

06:48.814 --> 06:52.530
Plus space F and then U.

06:54.750 --> 07:02.758
If you want to get a detailed description of percentages of like the brightness level is and all that, you would.

07:02.814 --> 07:06.742
Do insert or Jaws key plus space.

07:06.926 --> 07:18.900
F followed by D. This doesn't give you the same as what Picture Smart does, it just tells you what the brightness level is and the location of your face.

07:20.640 --> 07:22.952
Finally, if you have a setup that.

07:22.976 --> 07:30.520
Has more than one camera hooked up to your computer, you can select the camera that you want to use by.

07:30.560 --> 07:34.820
Doing Jaws key plus space f C.

07:35.680 --> 07:47.420
After doing that, you would use the up and down arrow keys to cycle between the cameras and then press Escape once you are on the right camera.

07:49.200 --> 07:51.416
Okay folks, that's it for this Jaws tip.

07:51.448 --> 08:09.270
I hope that you found it useful. Stay tuned for more Jaws tips in the coming weeks. And if there's anything that you would like to hear about regarding Jaws, once again, don't hesitate to send us an email. Send it to Feedback and Unmute.
