Partner would like the ability to use a webcam to communicate with customers inside a session

Duplicates 5
Module to view client's webcam feed

I know this has potentially creepy applications but I find myself often asked to troubleshoot client's printer issues remotely. And I think we all know that just because Windows *says* something printed doesn't mean it did so I would like the option to be able to have the client turn their laptop/webcam towards the printer and see for myself what comes out of it.

Webcams in Meetings

Easy to use product. Please add webcam video sharing to your meetings. We use GoToMeetings that allows us to see who we're speaking to via webcam. We do like Screenconnect much more however and would love if webcams were enabled.

Video chat capability

What about a video chat capability in support sessions?

Videoconference between 2 or more Remote connections ?

Is it possible to make a videoconference between 2 or more persons who are in Remote Access (on differrent pcs in the group) ?

Add Video confrencing to the meeting tab

I would like to see "Zoom" like video conferencing on the meetings tab. I figure adding WebRTC capabilities wouldn't be so hard to add to the self hosted server if your hardware is strong enough.

Agreed, This:   Yes!! please add this. Meetings are not as personal if there is no webcam support. We will most likely use webex for our meetings until this is added. 

Plus this:  Audio / Video / desktop sharing recording with options to share recording (need quality recordings for training)

would allow me to destroy my webex accounts - been waiting since 2014

Yes the webcam and mic functions should be added in the Meetings tab.

It would be incredibly helpful for us to have a webcam stream.

Adding this would be incredibly helpful and let us switch from Skype meetings to Control meetings :)

Open an application on the clients computer that shows the camera. They likely have a default program to go with their webcam, but if not there's plenty you could get installed. That way you aren't being creepy as they will see the live feed just as you are.


Yes, performance will be less than high quality, but I think it is much more appropriate than a SC feature.
