Compliance asks if the camera can be physically closed when not in a meeting

A hardware shutter or physical cover is often a compliance requirement, software mute is not enough for some privacy officers. Not all models have it built in.

Try this first

  1. 1List which models already have a built-in shutter, Logitech Rally Bar Mini, Logitech MeetUp and Poly Studio P15 have a physical cover.
  2. 2On models without a shutter a snap-on cap or a slide sticker can be an acceptable workaround, document it in a procedure.
  3. 3In the room guide, document who closes the shutter and when, usually the last person leaving the room.
  4. 4For rooms with regular sensitive content, HR or board room, plan camera power-off via the room system.
  5. 5Combine with a mic mute LED that lights physically when the mic is open, that gives visual evidence for compliance.
  6. 6Plan a half-yearly audit, are all rooms still compliant and nothing added without a shutter.
