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?

2024-03-08T09:31:02+00:00 I am also missing the zoom/pan functionality in New Teams. For the love of god I do not understand how is it possible to make new products that are worse than the previous versions. I don't think that people at Microsoft understand how development works. THE IDEA IS TO MAKE THE NEXT PRODUCT BETTER!!! I would think that it is obvious but clearly people at Microsoft have not figured this out yet. But since they have a monopoly there is not much a customer can do. I think it is time that we as a society should start talking about breaking Microsoft up to small companies like they have done with Standard Oil back in the day. We need to bring competition back otherwise we will end up with this moneygrabbing behemoth that is slowing us all down.

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

2024-03-12T18:20:38+00:00 The camera settings feature needs to be restored. I too was forced to return to Teams Classic to get it back, but we don't know how long that will still be available. All too often Microsoft's "upgrades" result in critical features being taken away.
