Preferences: Devices panel
This panel lets you select your Speaker and Microphone in Headset Mode and in Speakerphone Mode, and lets you select which device should ring, your Camera, and the maximum resolution for video.
Unless you have made changes in Devices, Bria Stretto automatically detects devices at each startup and selects the most appropriate device for audio and video. Your choices apply at the next start up unless the device is no longer in use, in which case, Bria Stretto will automatically detect the device to use.
On a new install, Bria Stretto uses your system default device for the speaker and the microphone.
Test Devices: Opens the Troubleshooting window.
Test Camera: Opens the Video window and shows the image from your camera.

Low (CIF): Common Intermediate Format, uses 352 x 240 pixels.
Medium (VGA): Video graphics array, uses 640 x 480 pixels.
HD (720p): High definition video, uses 1280 x 720 pixels.
HD (1080p): High definition video, uses 1920 X 1080 pixels.
Set to the highest resolution if you have a good camera, a high speed internet connection, and a computer with a fast CPU. You will know if you have set the resolution too high if your computer slows down or the video shows black areas or is slow or jerky.
Set to the lowest resolution only in special situations — using Wi-Fi in a hotel. You will know if you have set the resolution too low if the video is fuzzy.
You can test the resolution by clicking Test Camera once you set this field.
