Surface Hub Smart Camera1 is designed for hybrid teams and optimized for remote participants. With a sharp focus on the foreground and background, remote participants can see people interact with content on the Surface Hub while viewing everyone else in the room. Surface Hub Smart Camera has a wide field of view greater than 136 degrees, automatic framing2, high-quality glass optics, and a low light sensor. To learn more, see the following resources:
No additional updates are required for Surface Hubs migrated to run Windows 10/11 Pro or Enterprise.
Install smart camera
Attach the camera to the USB-C port in the middle of the top of Surface Hub 2S. The indicator LED lights briefly when the camera is connected and continuously when the camera is in use.
To remove the camera, pull up and forward. A magnetic tether prevents the camera from being knocked off or pulled backward.
Camera cover
The camera cover magnetically snaps to the front for privacy and the back for storage when not in use.
Note
Do not place the cover in the vented slot at the top of the camera.
Manage automatic framing settings
Automatic framing2 dynamically adjusts the camera's focus and framing during video calls. This technology ensures that participants are centered and visible in the frame, even as they move around the room.
How you manage the settings depends on the OS installed on Surface Hub:
When you install the Surface Hub Smart Camera, automatic framing is enabled by default. Admins can manage automatic framing from Settings via an on/off toggle that sets the automatic framing state at the start of each Surface Hub session.
Open Settings and go to Surface Hub > Calling & Audio.
Under Automatic framing, adjust the toggle as appropriate.
Select End session; modified settings are applied when you start a new session.
If the toggle is set to On, automatic framing is always on by default when users begin a session on Surface Hub. If the toggle is set to Off, automatic framing is always off by default when starting a session on Surface Hub.
If you turn on this policy setting, automatic framing is enabled. If you turn off this policy setting, automatic framing is disabled. If you don't configure this policy setting, automatic framing is enabled.
If you migrated your Surface Hub to run Windows 11 Pro or Windows 11 Enterprise, you need to turn on automatic framing for the Surface Hub Smart Camera. Automatic framing is turned off by default.
To turn on automatic framing, go to Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Manage Cameras> Surface Hub Smart Camera.
Windows 10 Desktop on Surface Hub
If you migrated your Surface Hub to run Windows 10 Pro or Windows 10 Enterprise, automatic framing is always enabled and can't be disabled or otherwise configured.
