What's the purpose of the camera on the Tread?

I've noticed there appears to be a camera at the top of my Tread screen. Anyone know why that's there?

Welcome to the forum @PoppyThePug. Here's a good explanation of it.

"Yes, the screen on the Peloton bike and tread has a video camera! It is in the top center of the screen. However, it is not used for the instructors to see you.

Instead, the video camera allows for you to video chat with friends during the ride. You have the option to configure it so the feature is only available to people you follow, or are friends with. Or, you can set it so you can video chat with anyone on your current ride. You also have option to completely disable the feature.

If you click into someones profile on the leaderboard, you will see the option to video chat with them at the top, near their name. However, they also have to have enabled video chatting for you to initiate a chat with them."
Thanks ftrider. Your post uses "ride" throughout. Is this video chat feature only for the bike?

Hi. No, there is a camera on the tread as well which can be used in the same way as it is on the bike:) The Peloton Tread Camera
