## Tips and tricks

### BisonCam

Models with a BisonCam integrated webcam just need to activate it with `Fn+F6`.

### Embedded Controller

Some models are supported by a community developed driver.

If you need the added functionality, you can install it with msi-ec-dkms-gitAUR or msi-ec-gitAUR.

### Intel Management Engine

Intel ME firmware needs to be updated from Windows.

See Windows PE/Tips and tricks#Update Intel Management Engine firmware with the files provided by MSI on their BIOS Update webpage.
