Sharing second camera - I can't see what others are seeing

Zoom 6.1.12 on Windows 11

When I share a second camera there seems to be no way to see what others in the meeting are seeing.  Is there a way to view my outgoing feed?

Click "show meeting" button.

By the "show meeting" button I presume you mean the tab-like buttons at top left when second camera sharing is on?

I don't seem to have the ability to insert an image here so I'll try to describe what I see.

First, in the Share/Advanced dialog there is an option to share a second camera.  There's also an option to choose one of several possible layouts.  I choose, for instance, the layout with the second camera full-size with the main camera overlaid at bottom left. 

After selecting the layout, in the main Zoom window there's a couple of tabs at top left with the labels "Meeting" and "My Camera".  Clicking "Meeting" shows the main camera with the background blacked out (and only the main camera), and "My Camera"  shows only the second camera.  I don't see anything resembling the overlay layout depicted in the Share/Advanced dialog.

Other participants describe a number of confusing results, such as both the main image and overlay being the same camera, and even THEIR feed window showing one of my cameras. 

So the question still stands, "how can I see exactly what participants see when I share a second camera?"

Now that we have more precise information the ONLY way to see the output is to use a second device to monitor the feed. This should ALWAYS be done to assure that audio and video settings are correct especially if you are using overlays. What you see as the HOST is to help to better manage the output NOT to show you what the participants see. With respect to the layouts keep in mind that the 2nd and 3rd layouts showing the silhouette of a human will try to key out anything that the AI thinks is not human when overlaying that onto the second camera image. The meeting tab will show you what the keying is doing to your camera image, but will not show where it is overlaid. Putting the window into fullscreen mode will give you an additional window to show all other cameras that may be on as well and it can be placed and resized on a second or third screen.
