COMMON QUESTIONS

Support, Privacy & Control.

Where can I download the B.O.B. tutorials?

The four individual Windows 11 tutorials and one combined eight-page guide are available in the Tutorials section above as direct PDF downloads.

Does B.O.B. record my camera, microphone or meetings?

No. Camera previews and microphone level measurements are processed locally for user-directed testing. B.O.B. does not record, transcribe, store or upload meeting conversations.

Does B.O.B. change Teams, Zoom or other meeting-app settings?

Not in the current Free release. B.O.B. stores a local preferred-device plan and helps you prepare, but you must confirm matching devices inside each conferencing application.

Which operating system does B.O.B. currently support?

The current B.O.B. release is designed for Windows 11. Future platform or deployment options remain labeled Coming Soon or Planned until available.

What diagnostics should I send?

Include Windows 11 edition, version and OS build; B.O.B. version; device and meeting-app names; the exact message; and the steps that reproduce the problem. Send diagnostic files only if BitTrib asks for them.

Why is a meeting app detected but not controlled?

Detection reports whether a supported application is present. The current Free release does not push camera or microphone settings into Teams, Zoom, Meet, Webex or Slack.

How do cancellation and refunds work?

B.O.B. Free has no subscription charge. Pro and Business remain Coming Soon and are not currently purchasable. Any future paid purchase will show its controlling terms before checkout; Microsoft Store purchases are also subject to Microsoft's purchase and refund process.

Where are the legal terms?

BitTrib publishes the B.O.B. Privacy Policy, End User License Agreement and Refund & Cancellation Information in the Legal section above and in the site footer.
