  2. Connect the MMC to your laptop (both USB and HDMI)

Method 2

This method requires you to join Teams via a second computer and uses the IPEVO VZ-R to provide the camera feed from that second computer.

What this method does: allows you to display the feed from the IPEVO VZ-R doc cam in full screen on the MMC's monitor and in your Teams meeting.
