Abstract
Examples disclosed herein provide a digital pen for a computing device. As an example, the digital pen includes a barrel, a camera mounted along a length of the barrel, and a first set of magnetic members to magnetically couple to a second set of magnetic members of a computing device. Upon the first and second sets of magnetic members magnetically coupling with each other, the camera is to activate for use with the computing device for videoconferencing.

A system comprising:
- a digital pen comprising:
- a barrel;
- a camera mounted along a length of the barrel;
- and
- a first set of magnetic members;
- and
- a computing device comprising:
- a second set of magnetic members to magnetically couple with the first set of magnetic members of the digital pen, wherein when the first and second sets of magnetic members are to magnetically couple with each other, the camera is to activate for use with the computing device for videoconferencing.

A digital pen comprising:
- a barrel;
- a camera mounted along a length of the barrel;
- a first set of magnetic members;
- a circuit board disposed within the digital pen, wherein the circuit board is to activate the camera when the first set of magnetic members is to magnetically couple with a second set of magnetic members of a computing device;
- and
- a processor to transmit video footage from the activated camera to the computing device.
