Can an otoscope capture video?


Not at the moment - we will let you know when this becomes available.


I have plugged my otoscope in, but cannot see the otoscope camera


  • On the consultation page, in the section called Add to Consultation, click on the link that says ‘Photos’.
  • Choose ‘Using an otoscope’.
  • Make sure your otoscope is plugged into your computer.
  • Click on the button that says “take photos”.


If the next screen shows a picture from your webcam rather than from the otoscope, click on the gear icon in the top left corner of the picture display.


In the dropdown that becomes visible, there are usually only two options. Select the second one. This should show the image from the otoscope. (If there are more than two options, keep changing the selection until you see the otoscope image.)


Click the Save button to save the setting.
