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 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

    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.

    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.

    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.
