Hello
Under Teams Classic - there used to be a number of camera settings under Settings > Devices > Camera such as Zoom/Pan/Tilt. Those settings no longer appear, to my knowledge, in New Teams. Am I missing something or did this feature not carry over?
Also, the webcam I am using, a Poly P5, has local software installed but those zoom/pan/tilt settings have never carried over to Teams (Classic or New).
Any advice? Did this feature disappear forever or am I missing where it is?

Controlling the image you project, the background chosen, lighting etc all matter.
Y'all took away the only differentiator I saw in your software--the camera controls to zoom, pan, and tilt the camera. Why take them away?
When can we expect their return? Because to have a only have a wide angle view of my office, I could use Google or Zoom to get this bad of a presentation -- which I consider substandard for lack of similar camera functionality.
FYI, I'm using a Logitech Brio 4K camera that worked seamlessly with old teams--but the feature is even missing from old teams now!

Strong request to MS DEV's to put this back with a next update.
