Hi,

I have multiple camera, one of which is my Apple Studio Display camera. I see it listed, but selecting it will not switch the camera. The camera works fine in Photo Boot or in FaceTime.

Not sure what is going on. Also, can you confirm ZOOM CenterStage (supported on Mac on Apple Studio Display) is supported? (it is on ZOOM iOS on iPad)

Thanks,

Phil

Issue was resolved. My MBP was using French as OS language. Switching to English magically made the selection of the camera to work.

I would not call this a solution, but only a hacky workaround.

Still waiting for an actual fix for this issue.

I have two to Apple Studio displays and Zoom is not allowing me to switch my camera from my first Apple Studio display to the second. English is my MBP's language.

I can't leave my mbpro lid closed when trying to use the Studio Display camera. weird. when lid is open.. i can switch zoom video to use studio display camera. otherwise... when mbpro lid is closed it disables the camera. but I have a studio display and i can have lid open or closed and it works.

I have the same issue. 3 Studio displays, they all register with the same name and you cannot select an individual display. Interestingly it seems that the microphone renames itself per display. Apple I think is the primary culprit as there does not appear yet to be a way of individually naming the displays. You can rename hard and ssd disks and ipads and after all the studio display is just a big iPad anyway. Customer dreams of something working before release Aaargh!

Maybe the folk at zoom can work around this - Fire up zoom app, read monitor display order, allocate 'falsename01,'falsename02,falsename03, provide zoom specific re-naming convention, call apple and ask the studio dev team to sort it out pronto. Add to next Studio Display patch This is not rocket science
