This kind of mobility comes in helpful if you frequently lead presentations in a room and need to walk around, or even if you’re showing off a dance routine to an audience. The Link is able to recognise faces, and as a result, it will follow yours and automatically position you so that you are in the middle of the frame. Additionally, it has the ability to zoom in and out, ensuring that you are not too far away or taking up an excessive amount of the frame.
You can communicate with the Link through a series of hand gestures rather than through spoken words. The camera may be zoomed in and out with a single gesture. Another user activates Whiteboard Mode, which instructs the Link to prioritise rectangular surfaces (such as whiteboards or chalkboards) as the primary target of its attention.
[content-egg-block template=offers_logo hide=price]In Whiteboard Mode, it will frame the board and won’t track you if you opt to move out of the way to offer viewers a better view of the board. This is because the mode frames the board rather than you. It is necessary to place four reusable stickers (which are included) that frame the whiteboard in order for the Link to understand what it is that you want it to concentrate on, but this is only a little annoyance.

Where to get Insta360 Link?
In contrast to the Obsbot Tiny 4K, the display mount is actually incorporated into the webcam itself, meaning that the compact form factor already incorporates all of the necessary hardware. If you would rather use a tripod to support the camera, there is a hole on the underside of the webcam that is designed to accommodate 1/4-inch screws.
In addition, the spot where the Insta360 logo is engraved features a touch button that, when pressed, returns the gimbal to its initial, factory-set position. An LED ring light is utilised by the Insta360 Link to signify whether or not it is being used, as well as whether or not it is responding to gestures. It is not that dissimilar to the features that the Obsbot Tony 4K provides, but there are some key differences.
When the camera is being used, the light will be green; however, when the AI tracking feature is active, the light will appear to be a slightly altered shade of green. When it detects a gesture, a blue flash will appear, but when it is not being used, the light will remain solid blue for ten seconds. After that, the privacy mode will activate, and the light will go off completely.
