Camera Setup

There are 2 ways to angle your camera. Both have positives and negatives. We've seen a lot of people angle their webcam / phonecam. Most have their camera's angled above their playing field. This is the clearest picture, however it does lead to the potential of showing your hand. It's better to angle this view at a 45-degree angle slightly away from you so that your field is clearly viewed and the cards in your hand are hidden, but visible to your opponent at all time.

The second way is to place the camera where your opponent would traditionally sit at. This is a more familiar point of view, however it is not as clear.

​#Please note that it is your responsibility to have your camera setup in advance and operational for when pairings go live.
