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?

    There is a workaround that I have been using a few times.

    In a meeting I configure Teams to use one camera and then I start up the Windows Camera-app connected to the other Camera and then share that App.

    In my case I have a camera showing a projector screen and the teacher.  It works pretty good.

    Good luck,

    Can you tell me how you did this for my art teacher she wants to use two cameras to show her doing a piece and the students at the same time but is having trouble.

    Hi

    As said in earlier posts.

    The easiest way is to use one webcam connected to Microsoft Teams, show your self, and one webcam connected to the Windows Camera App, showing the document. Next step is to share your screen and select the Camera App.

    It is very clunky to go back and forth between the white board, and you can't put a pdf or image up and mark it up.  I teach piano so I need my students to be able to see the piano keyboard when I'm demonstrating something, but then I'm usually going back forth between that and a power point.  or putting the kids on camera to share with the class.
