New Teams: Camera Settings Gone

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?

    Same story. New Teams DOES NOT respect the previous Teams settings allowing you to control the camera -- in particular Zoom. WHY does Microsoft inevitably stuff things up every time they release a new version of something. Who asked for this change? Surely no one who has been using the previous version.

    PUT THOSE FEATURES BACK!

    Good to know - although that is a "workaround" as opposed to a fix! It would be good to see Microsoft put those controls back in the "New" version of Teams.

    I came across this issue with a Logitech Brio 4K camera. Like many others its a corporate machine and I am unable to install LogiTunes on it (without hassling a system admin).

    I found a solution - open up teams classic then adjust camera to desired settings then switch over to new teams and settings are carried over for me.

    Hope that helps and works for others

    so you set the camera up in the logi app - and do not use Teams?

    Yes, if you have admin permissions on the PC you can install Logi Tune, which is the official way of accessing current gen Logitech webcam controls.

    FFMPEG doesn't need to be "installed", but is simply an executable that I run from the command line. But your organization may prevent you from running exe files. The only error I get on my work PC is a bypassable Windows Defender warning when I run the .bat file with the command line code.
