Two cameras auto switch

Most people like me, have a laptop camera and another external camera. Switching between cameras is boring and takes too many clicks.

My suggestion is that Zoom could work on a functionality that would allow the Zoom desktop client to automatically switch my camera (from laptop camera to external camera or vice versa) based on which direction I’m looking at.

    hi ​@moa_starburst 

    Yes, others poeple have reaised this. I have 6 camera settings and it can be hard to find the right one.

    If you start using external systems like stream deck you can assing each camera to a button.

    It has been raised to the engineering team, and we will see when they decide to add a beter method.
    Thank you for your contribution.

    Please like and mark as the solution if this helps

    All the best
