Lenovo View Configuration Guide

Lenovo View is being withdrawn

Beginning in January 2026, Lenovo View will begin to be withdrawn. There may be an additional update released to assist in the automatic removal of this solution. For more details, see the End of Support statement.

Overview

Lenovo View is a hardware support app for the Lenovo View device driver that enhances camera quality and provides collaboration features for some mainstream video call apps.

Deploying Lenovo View

Warning

The Lenovo View device driver must be deployed to the device before deploying the app. Deploying only the app without the driver will result in non-functional features. The device driver is included in the SCCM driver packs and available on the Lenovo Support site.

As an HSA, the Lenovo View app is available in the HSA pack for models that support it. For systems which have access to the Microsoft Store, the OS will automatically install the Lenovo View app after the device driver is deployed. Otherwise, refer to Hardware Support Apps Without Microsoft Store for details on how to sideload the app from the HSA pack.

The available features vary depending on the computer model. Additionally, the Lenovo View app periodically updates features to improve camera and video call experience, so feature descriptions may differ from what appears in your user interface.

Managing Configuration with Group Policy

The Lenovo View app supports group policy controls of the configuration settings listed below. To define a policy for your devices running Lenovo View, download the ADMX template and use the standard procedure to implement your desired settings through Active Directory. You may also import the ADMX template into Intune to manage these policies.

If testing on a local machine, copy the contents of the zip file below to C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions, then open Group Policy Editor. The Lenovo View items will be available under Administrative Templates.

Note

All policies below can be configured as Enabled or Disabled. If a policy is not configured, the default behavior is enabled.

Policy Settings

Policy	Description
Auto Framing	Keeps the user centered in the video by changing the region of interest. The camera follows the person, and video conference participants see the user always centered in the frame.
Background Concealment	Separates the user from the background and blurs it.
Eye Wellness	Tracks display time and reminds the user to look at something different after 20 minutes to protect the eyes. A banner appears across the display to remind the user when it is time for a break.
Light Enhancement	Improves overall image brightness, contrast, and saturation. On certain products, performs temporal noise reduction and high dynamic range (HDR) to increase contrast and colors in bright light conditions.
Posture Warning	Observes the user and notifies them when their posture is unhealthy or slouching. A banner appears across the display to warn the user of incorrect posture.
Privacy Alert	Notifies the user if onlookers have been detected (a second or third person trying to view the display). The notification appears as a floating image on the screen.
Privacy Guard	Protects the display by blurring the screen if onlookers have been detected.
Virtual Presenter	Shows the user in a floating decal-like window overlay on the screen.
