Setting up u:stream camera

Open the u_stream application on the lecture hall PC desktop.


Select the menu item Camera controls and log in with your u:account for employees. 


Set the position of the u:stream camera. The selected image section is then available in the video conference tool.

Use the arrow keys and the +/- keys to fine-tune the image, or use the TILT, ZOOM, PAN sliders to roughly change the view. 

Or select one of the predefined camera profiles:

If required, you can also define an individual camera profile that is only available to you in the room in question. To do this, click on the plus symbol to the right of the predefined camera profiles.

Starting a video conference

You have 2 options:

  • Start a video conference on the lecture hall PC: To do this, open the video conference on the lecture hall PC. 
  • Start a video conference on your own device: First connect the device you have brought with you to the video conference connection on the lecture hall desk. Then open the video conference on your device.

The appropriate connection cables are labelled Videokonferenz and can be found (depending on the location) in the teacher's tray or at the porter's desk.

The connection cables allow you to connect to the USB-A and USB-C ports of your device. Please use only these cables and avoid any additional adapters.


For meetings in Moodle, go to moodle.univie.ac.at and open the video conference meeting in Big Blue Button or Zoom (both tools are supported). 

Meetings with Zoom can also be accessed directly via univienna.zoom.us. The Zoom client is installed on the lecture hall PC if required.

Holding a video conference

  • If you want to share your presentation/screen in the conference, share it directly in the video conference tool.
  • If you are working on your own device, you must also connect it in the lecture hall via HDMI or VGA so that your presentation/screen can also be seen via projector in the lecture hall.
  • If you want to change the camera position during the meeting, use the u:stream camera control again. This is only available on the lecture hall PC.
