How do I zoom out

Does anyone know how I zoom out (ratio) on a zoom meeting. I can only get my head in the shot from the camera angle on top of my computer and I want a little more of me and the room! The google searches I do suggest there is a function for this, but the button it tells me to look for doesn't appear to exist...!

Hi there, 

There is not a function to zoom out within a Zoom Meeting, as this would be a limitation caused by your webcam, not the Zoom app. If you have not done so already, I would recommend investing in an external webcam if it is within your means. This way, you are able to adjust the position and angle of the camera to suit your desires.

Check out the Enhancing your video in Zoom support article to be sure you are looking your best with the equipment you've got!

    It is possible to use an Android 14 phone as a webcam for a PC. It  is also possible to set a zoom magnification for the camera as explained in this article.
