New Teams: Camera Settings Gone

Anonymous

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?

    Hi everyone,

    Here's an alternative that kinda worked for me.

    My organisation is also switching to 'New' Teams and the colour balance is all wrong on my Logitech Webcam (I look like a tomato). And whilst I do like tomatoes, I don't like looking like one in meetings (thanks Microsoft). And like so many of us I am also unable to install other apps to alter advanced camera settings (in my case the saturation setting).

    So, I just use Teams inside Chrome instead. Yes, I am still unable to manage advanced camera settings, although for me the colour balance is MUCH better in Chrome. Hopefully this post helps some people out there. Oh I'm also unable to add my own personal virtual background, but that's ok, my travel pics make my coworkers jealous anyway :P

    My face is so bright from the glare of my screen that you cannot see my face features. I have tried moving the camera (external) but still glare. Tried all the available setting and whilst you can click on Adjust Brightness, nothing happens. I have now had to set Teams and Zoom background to Dark to try to avoid glare. Bring back the sliding adjustment so that people can see who I am and not a moon for a face!

    Really frustrating feature to lose. All my other apps apply the the webcam settings I make in the Logitech app. Teams is the only one that does not apply the changes. Then salt in the wound is new Teams has removed existing functionality that would let me zoom in. Please bring it back.

    The missing camera settings on "New" Teams (perhaps they should call it "Teams v -2.0?" is egregious. This was the single most helpful setting in Teams to tweak an image to be acceptable. Sounds like a pretty important feature on a COMMUNICATIONS / VIDEO SHARING app, doesn't it?

    The fact that this hasn't been addressed yet is ridiculous.

    MICROSOFT: PLEASE comment on this. It's the absolute VERY LEAST you could possibly to for your frustrated users.
