Question
Android Tablet Wide Angle Camera No Longer Available After Latest Update
Hello,
I am using Zoom on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra (Android). After the latest Zoom update, the camera behavior has changed significantly.
Previously, I was able to use the tablet’s ultra wide-angle front camera, allowing a fully zoomed-out view. This is essential for my use case, as I teach fitness and movement-based classes and need a full-body frame.
After the update:
- Zoom automatically crops the video (auto-framing / auto-crop)
- There is no “Fit / Fill / Original aspect ratio” option
- Wide-angle view cannot be selected or locked
The device hardware fully supports ultra wide-angle video, so this appears to be an Android Zoom app behavior, not a device issue.
Is there:
- A way to disable auto-framing on Android tablets?
- A way to manually select or lock the ultra wide-angle camera?
- Any plan to restore wide-angle control for tablet users?
This update makes Zoom very difficult to use for fitness and movement instructors.
Thank you.
