You can control how the camera behaves during a meeting. You can either allow the camera to be manually controlled by participants, or have it automatically focus on people in the meeting.
Note: Low-performance hosts do not support this functionality. See the FAQs at the end of the article for further details.
II. Steps
Tap Camera Control on the room controller, and select a mode. If there are multiple camera devices, you can switch devices under the Camera option.

III. Compatible cameras
If the camera itself has the ability to auto-frame, but is not compatible with Lark's auto-framing function, there may be issues such as screen jumping and lag. In this case, it is recommended that you turn off the camera's built-in auto-framing function to ensure a normal auto-framing experience.
The following cameras are compatible with Lark's auto-framing function and do not need to have their built-in auto-framing function turned off.
