Can I connect my camera to a USB 2.0 port?

The Huddly IQ normally requires a USB 3.0 port connection, but if you have a USB 2.0 port that meets the power requirements of the camera, it should also work as expected. The power requirements for the camera is 5V 900mA.
Please note that for cable lengths over 2 meters, we recommend using extra power in the form of an active USB 3.0 extender or a powered USB hub.

Huddly L1, Huddly S1 and Huddly Crew use a USB Type-C port supporting USB 2/3 via the USB Adapter.

Please note that full USB 2 bandwidth is required for the cameras to work as intended over USB 2.0.

The Huddly GO is USB 2.0 compatible and will show constant light that should be visible when plugged-in and active, and should be properly operational.

How can I see the difference between USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 certified port?
Color is the key to telling the difference between USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports. In almost all cases, USB 3.0 ports are blue while USB 2.0 ports are black or white in color (see image below):

In general, devices produced prior to 2012 have a standard USB 2.0 port only. The USB 3.0 port was introduced as a standard at the beginning of 2013.

If changing USB ports did not resolve the situation if you camera is not working as intended, it could be a case of a defective cable. Please contact your Huddly reseller for a new cable or our sales team. You can reach them through the contact form on the top right corner of our home page.
