Preparation guide
Make the privacy choices explicit: Choose whether the camera and microphone should be enabled for this comparison. Use a non-sensitive preview or test; do not record meeting participants. Record the intended built-in or external routes.

Separate the failing route: Follow the camera and microphone tasks independently. Compare the display connection outside the meeting application. Check Ethernet recognition separately from internet reachability.

Keep a specific setup record: Identify the failing route and the condition that still works. Mark unavailable accessories and unperformed comparisons. For a managed laptop, pass policy-controlled settings to IT without changing them.

Repeat and restore preferences: Repeat the same preview/input/display conditions after support. Restore your preferred shutter and mute choices. Keep remaining app-specific symptoms separate from hardware service results.
