Question

Hello,We are implementing a Video Banking / video call flow and would like to support simultaneous use of both the front and rear cameras during a live video session (dual camera / multi-camera streaming from a mobile device).Could you please advise:	Does Zoom support simultaneous front and back camera usage during an active video call?			If yes, which Zoom SDK should be used for this use case (Video SDK, Meeting SDK, or another option)?			Are there any platform limitations for iOS and Android?			Is there any available documentation or sample implementation for this functionality?	Thank you in advance for your guidance.

1.) Yes. Zoom natively supports streaming from multiple cameras simultaneously on mobile devices, allowing users to share both their front-facing and rear-facing camera feeds during an active live session.

2.) Use the Zoom Video SDK.

3.) Yes, there are limitations for both.

Platform	Minimum OS Version	Hardware / Framework Requirements
iOS	iOS 13.0+	Requires the A12 Bionic chip or newer (iPhone XS, XR, 11+, iPad Pro 3rd Gen+). Relies natively on Apple's `AVCaptureMultiCamSession`.
Android	Android 11 (API 30)+	Relies on the `Camera2` API. The specific device manufacturer must explicitly support concurrent streaming capabilities (`FEATURE_CAMERA_CONCURRENT`).

Big Note: Even if a device meets the minimum OS requirements, the Video SDK can only initialize multi-camera streaming if the underlying hardware explicitly supports concurrent Image Signal Processor (ISP) resource allocation. Older or budget Android devices running Android 11+ may still fail to support this feature.
