Screen Mode
Kandao Meeting Pro offers a variety of screen modes to suit different meeting scenarios for users:
1. Discussion Mode: The upper half of the screen displays a panoramic view, while the lower half showcases more participants, intelligently highlighting the speaker for in-depth discussions with remote attendees.
2. Global Mode: Provides a 360° panoramic view that captures all participants in the meeting room, giving a comprehensive view of everyone's status.
3. Presentation Mode: Focuses the screen solely on the current speaker, allowing attendees to concentrate on the presenter's words. Ideal for structured presentations.
4. Patrol Mode: Shows the current speaker on the left side, while the right side rotates to display various parts of the meeting room, balancing the focus between the speaker and the overall room.
5. Custom Mode: Allows users to choose their own perspective and lock the view, ensuring that the focus of the meeting can always be attended to.
6. Screen Lock Mode: Suitable for all meeting modes except Global Mode, where a paired Bluetooth remote control can be used to manually adjust, zoom, and lock the target frame to concentrate on the key points of the meeting.
Auto Tracking
When Kandao Meeting Pro is in its default mode,rather than Screen Lock Mode, it intelligently recognizes faces and voices to smartly track the speaker, ensuring they are always prominently displayed in the center of the frame. This facilitates seamless face-to-face communication and enhances the efficiency of remote meetings.
Zoom and Lock
1) By pressing the lock button on the remote control briefly or holding down the Mode button on the device, a small lock icon will appear at the bottom of the screen. (If mirror mode is enabled, the icon will be in the lower right corner; if mirror mode is not enabled, it will be in the lower left corner.)
2) At this point, you can control the movement of the screen within the divider frame left and right. If you cannot control it, it means that the remote control is in the mouse mode, and you should cancel the mouse mode first. [If the direction of screen movement is opposite to the control direction of the remote, it is because the mirror mode has been activated.]
3) After selecting a divider frame, the border of the selected frame will turn light blue. Press the OK button on the remote control, and the border color will change to white. You can then use the "up, down, left, right" directional buttons along with the volume "+" and "-" buttons to adjust the view. Once the view is adjusted to your preference, press the OK button to confirm, and the frame will revert from white back to light blue.
Why can't Zoom be used or updated?
Go to Settings > Storage > click the Search icon on the upper right corner > type in Google Play Store and search > select Google Play Store > OPEN > search Zoom to do the update and see if it works.

In some areas, there are both summer and winter time zones.
We suggest navigating to **Timezone** - scrolling down to the bottom - selecting **More** - **Select time zone** to choose the correct time for your location.
Why doesn't the Kandao Meeting Pro focus on the person speaking?
The AI algorithm of the Kandao Meeting Pro supports face recognition and voice location to enhance the sensitivity of AI tracking. To ensure the system works effectively, please make sure that:
1. The speaker is not wearing a mask.
2. The speaker talks for more than 3-5 seconds, allowing the camera to recognize their face.
3. The speaker tries to avoid sitting between the two lenses.
Why is there a delay with the AI smart tracking on Kandao Meeting Pro?
The Kandao Meeting Pro is equipped with the Meeting AI 2.0 intelligent algorithm, which provides faster and more accurate facial and voice recognition. Since the operation of the algorithm requires some time, users may experience a slight delay. However, we strive to minimize this delay as much as possible. If you are not satisfied with the speed of the smart tracking, we recommend that you record the on-site situation and send it to us for further analysis and evaluation.
Is the Ignore Zone supported by Kandao Meeting Pro?
Not supported
Is it possible to install the conference software that is not available in the app store?
