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?

    Hi Frank. That works but only for the current session. When you come back for the next teams session, all the settings will have reverted to default. Seriously Microsoft. Get it together.

    My settings remain past the current session even after a number of restarts.

    It's interesting to me how experiences with this issue vary, even with Classic Teams. My work laptop - which I commute between home and the office with - is connected to a Logitech Brio 4K webcam via a Thunderbolt dock in my home office.

    Even with Classic Teams, I had difficulty getting the zoom, pan, and tilt settings to stick across reboots, Thunderbolt disconnect/reconnect, etc. But at least I was always able to launch the Setting dialog from within Classic Teams.

    Mine do not, and did not in the classic teams. It would be nice to know if there's a setting to keep rather than reset to default after sleep/restart.

    It's gone for me and not there. Very annoying as saturation on my camera is very high, my skin is bright orange

    Very basic stuff. Why remove something that is an essential requirement for some users? Anything that Microsoft touches eventually turns to rubbish. Not everyone has the option of using external controls. Taking away something so basic as camera controls just shows how little Microsoft is paying attention to user requirements. I'd be back on Zoom immediately if Teams weren't mandated by our IT policy.
