Hi Team,

           we have an SX 20 TP endpoint which is connected to a laptop using hdmi. we have installed skype client on the laptop, the idea is to make the laptop as the presentation soruce, and using SX 20 camera for the skype video. will this setup work?

It's not possible to use the SX20 camera out of the box as a USB web camera, you'll need some third-party hardware to take the HDMI input and make it appear as a USB device.  Refer to this thread regarding using TelePresence camera as a computer USB camera: using-codec-camera-webcam. In short, it's possible, but might require more work than one would like and it would be simpler to just purchase a dedicated web camera.
