Is it possible to have two cameras on display on the same account / meeting?

[JDZS098]

Hello everyone, I hope you're doing well. I’m setting up a hybrid classroom experience using Zoom. The teacher will use a digital whiteboard that runs Windows and has a built-in front-facing camera. We’d like to add a second camera at the back of the classroom to provide another angle, but we haven’t found a clean way to do this yet.

Currently, both cameras work with Zoom — we can switch between them manually — but what we really want is to display both camera feeds simultaneously, or at least treat the second camera as if it were a separate participant (like a guest in the meeting).

I’ve seen some suggestions recommending joining the meeting again from the same device using the browser or another account to use the second camera, but that feels a bit clunky and confusing — especially for teachers who need a simple, reliable setup.

Is there a way to configure Zoom or use a plugin/add-on that allows both cameras to work more seamlessly during the same session? Ideally, we’re looking for the easiest solution possible, so it's easy to train teachers and ensure smooth interaction during classes.

Thank you in advance for your help!

The simplest solution is to use a separate computer for each camera and use Zoom's spotlight function to spotlight both participant computers since the typical resolution for each participant is only 360P. Secondly you could use OBS Studio to do split screen, PIP, or overlay. This works with USB, RTSP, or NDI cameras.
