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 need a secondary screen to have a demo view of a table top surface while having the screen from my computer that shows me. Whiteboard is not the appropriate option. I have been trying to use quicktime or other secondary means to mirror my phone but not having much success. Any recommendations for an app that would integrate to allow easy toggling to live secondary camera. A recorded version is not right for this situation.

    Please Please Please add a multiple camera feature within Teams!!! Zoom and other platforms already have it. As an engineering teacher, I cannot share a screen or use the whiteboard to show how to properly solder a resistor in place, nor can I lift a camera and hold it while doing a demonstration. Physically moving a camera in the middle of a class is very unprofessional, as well as a time waste.

    Thank you.

    Hi 

    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,
