A menu will display. Left click on Custom Keystrokes, fill first blank with SPACE by pressing Spacebar on your keyboard
Step 2 – Plug in the MouthWatch Camera
Make sure that you plug the USB connector into a powered USB port. Sometimes, these are located on the front or back of the computer. If your monitor has USB ports, these may not be powered.
If setting up a MouthWatch Plus+ use a USB 3.0 port.
Step 3 – Windows Recognizes the Camera
Once the MouthWatch camera is plugged in, you should see a small alert on the bottom saying that New Hardware USB Video Device was recognized. Confirm the MouthWatch Capture icon is blue as shown above. If it is orange, try a different USB port.

With a patient selected, navigate to imaging on left toolbar, then on the top toolbar select Video as shown below.
Ensure USB Video Device is selected from the camera list at the top of the camera window.
