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?

    I have the same problem. My pc doesnt have an inbuilt camera so i have purchased one but I also have a camera to demonstrate practical aspects of my art lessons. I would like to switch between the two. We use a teams platform at school for the remote teaching during this current situation.

    Yes, I too want to use 2 cameras.  The laptop camera and an external one.  The user wants to do his video display and have his p.c. camera on him explaining what others are seeing.

    You can use OBS-Virtual cam, it's a streaming software but with that plugin you can have your screen and your webcam.

    Hagen,

    I´ve not seen if anyone has mentioned Teams-Rooms here. There you have an option for another content Camera or parallel whiteboard.

    Just started to think a few days ago how to show a physical Whiteboard while as well on a different Cam.

    Not sure if this is what you need but perfect for working with my Team.

    I'm new to Teams- doing engineering classes to 3rd graders as a Guest. I'm asking them to invite me via another email address and i will use my phone camera so they can see my face and my computer's camera to see my hands building a model. I hope that works!
