Choose your camera, microphone, and speakers

Device settings

The Device settings panel lets you pick which camera, microphone, and speakers Pactto uses, mirror your own video, and change your name and photo (see Change your name and photo).

Open the panel

• Before a meeting: on Your rooms, click Device settings at the top right.
• During a meeting: click Device options, the small arrow right next to the microphone button at the top right of the room.

Change your devices

1. Check the camera preview at the top. Check Mirror my camera if you want your own video flipped like a mirror. This only changes how you see yourself.
2. In Display name, change the name others see, if you want.
3. Under Camera, pick a camera.
4. Under Microphone, pick a microphone.
5. Under Speakers, pick where meeting audio plays.
6. Click Save. Click Cancel (or the X) to close without changes.

Your choices are saved and apply across all your rooms.

If something goes wrong

• Could not switch camera. You are still on the previous one. (or the same message for the microphone): the new device could not start. Check that no other app is using it and try again.
• Failed to save. Please try again.: the settings were not saved.
• Your profile does not allow changing your name.: your account cannot change its display name.

Good to know

• Speakers does not appear in Safari. In browsers that cannot switch audio output, the field reads Uses system default output (browser limitation). If no output devices are found, it reads No output devices found.
• If you plugged in a camera or microphone after joining, opening this panel detects it. Select it and save; you do not need to reload the room.
• Guests are asked for a name and an email before they can save and close the panel.
