Multiple device sign on

[Lawnquilt]

I'm techno challenged and very basic.  I teach quilting and occasionally do zoom classes.  Previously, I used my laptop with document camera for one area, but then I had to join from my iPhone camera which was positioned over my sewing machine in another part of the room.  It worked fine.  Recently, I was doing a class, and when I went to sign in from the iPhone camera, I was knocked out of the meeting and couldn't get back in on my computer, and had to try to finish the class holding the iPhone in my hand while trying to sew.  I guess something has changed.  I did look up and follow the instructions in the settings - changing to allowing up to 3 devices, but it says of the same type.  I need a computer for my dox camera and then my phone for over the sewing machine at the same time.  I do not have a young person available to help me.

Can someone please help me - in plain, old people language??  LOL. It's probably something super simple that I don't understand.

Welcome to the Zoom Community, @Lawnquilt! We're glad to have you here! You can try using Continuity Camera. 

First, on your iPhone, go to Settings → General → AirPlay & Handoff, and turn on Continuity Camera Webcam. You only need to do this once. Next, open the Zoom app on your Mac and start or join a meeting.

Then, in Zoom, click the small arrow next to the Start Video button and select your iPhone under Select a Camera. It will appear as “iPhone Camera.” Zoom will automatically switch to your iPhone’s camera, allowing you to use the rear camera as your webcam.
