When the Huddly Go camera is set at full-room view, distortion appears on the image corners. To correct this, when autozoom is turned off, the camera falls back to a zoomed-in view.

After you join a meeting, you can turn off this view:

Mimo touchscreen—On the right panel, tap Control cameraReset.

Read about controlling the camera.

When autozoom camera control is enabled the camera doesn’t zoom in on individual speakers. It detects the faces of all meeting participants and crops and zooms to create a more personal meeting experience. For more information, see Turn on autozoom camera control.

The autozoom feature detects faces and crops and zooms to best frame the participants. If it can no longer detect a participant or detects a new participant it may change the zoom level.

For the best experience use autozoom in small (3-5 people), well lit meeting rooms and position the camera 8 feet (2.4m) from the farthest person. For more information, see Turn on autozoom camera control.

Your Google Workspace administrator needs to turn on autozoom camera control in the Admin console. For more information, see Turn on autozoom camera control. You must have the Google Meet hardware kit including the Huddly GO camera to use autozoom camera control.

If you don't use the correct cables, the camera can show visual artifacts or not work at all. The Huddly GO camera has a 4k sensor that requires a high bandwidth, USB 3.0 connection. You need to use qualified USB 3.0 cables. For more information, see Qualified peripherals for Google Meet hardware kit.
