### Preferred device

Which device Tuple should use by default when sharing your webcam video.

### Resolution

This is the resolution for webcam video shared while you are pairing. Setting the resolution will automatically change the resolution on any current and future calls.

If you have a high-speed connection and want maximum webcam quality, set this higher. If you're working with a relatively poor connection, set your preference to a lower resolution to reduce latency on the call.

The settings correspond to the following resolution:

* Low: 160x120
* Medium: 320x240
* High: 640x480

### When in a call:

#### Enable my webcam automatically

When this setting is on, Tuple will automatically share your webcam video when you join or start a call.

#### Show preview before sharing

If selected, Tuple will ask you to confirm a preview of your webcam before sharing. If deselected, clicking the "Share Webcam" button will share your webcam immediately.
