classes on ipad

Hello Zoom Community and Product Team,
I am a teacher and I frequently use the Zoom iPad app to conduct my online classes and share digital textbooks with my students.
Currently, when I share my screen on the iPad, the floating video window allows me to see some participants, but my own camera feedback (Self-View) is completely hidden.
This is a major issue for educators. As a teacher, I need to see myself during interactions to evaluate my non-verbal communication, posture, and facial expressions. Not being able to see my own camera layout makes it very difficult to maintain the proper pedagogical framing and engagement.
I know that participants can still see me, but I need to see myself too.
Please consider adding an option to enable/toggle Self-View inside the floating window during screen sharing on iPadOS, just like it is possible on the desktop version. This would greatly improve the distance learning experience for thousands of teachers worldwide.
If you are a teacher or presenter facing the same issue, please upvote this post to bring it to the developers' attention!
Thank you.

      Hi ​@Mathieu orfinger 
       

      Thank you for reaching out and for sharing your feedback on the Zoom iPad experience!

      Regarding your request to enable Self-View during screen sharing on iPadOS, the best path forward is to raise this directly with your dedicated Account Executive (AE) at Zoom. Your AE is your primary advocate internally and is best positioned to formally submit a Feature Request (FR) on your behalf to our Product team.

      When you connect with your AE, I'd recommend sharing:

      • A brief description of the use case (e.g., conducting online classes, needing to monitor your own camera feed while sharing a digital textbook)
      • The specific ask: a toggle/option to show Self-View in the floating window during screen sharing on iPadOS, similar to the desktop version

      This ensures your feedback is tracked in the right channel and gets visibility with the right stakeholders.

      Thank you again for your patience and for helping us improve the Zoom experience!
