Attaching a saved brief retains a snapshot. It does not edit the brief, approve a connection, refresh a source or establish that equipment is safe.

Before you connect

What to check

  1. Record the exact model. A different Facecam generation requires its own requirements; stop this path when the scope does not match.
  2. Read the computer’s named USB capability for the chosen port. Port color is not treated here as a universal certification.
  3. Record the cable identity and its documented data support. A charging-shaped USB-C cable is not sufficient evidence.
  4. Close the camera application normally and reconnect an intact documented path. Record whether behavior changes.
  5. List hubs and other USB devices for support. Do not claim controller bandwidth or a faulty component from the list alone.
