I am an educator and will be using Microsoft Teams with students.  Is there a way to use a second external camera and share that image with the people in your meeting at the same time as the primary camera on my laptop?

    Thank you. That will definitely help...although I occasionally use text scrolling/timers in OBS, and flipping them really makes it hard to use. But if I can just get the cameras to work that's a breakthrough...

    You can mirror the video in obs; Select the thing you want to mirror, right click, -transform-flip horizontal. This works just fine for me.

    Try using the whiteboard feature of Teams. You can project a digital whiteboard and do whatever you need to do.  Takes some practice, but is a great collaboration tool for virtually interacting and teaching.

    I am a science teacher and do lots of live demos in class. It would be very useful to switch cameras during a teams class. So everyone can see the demo on the screen , then return to discussion.

    I too would like to have kids see me and my (in my case) document camera at the same time.  I thought i had it working by signing in on two devices, but my kids tell me otherwise..  Please help
