I have two USB cameras attached to my Mac Mini. In Zoom, they are both listed as "Full HD webcam" and when I switch from one to the other, the camera selected is still the same. I can only get it to use the other camera by temporarily unplugging the first.
It appears to be impossible to rename cameras. I make this swap multiple times a week so it'd be nice to do with more easily.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Apparently the latest Mac update renamed them, because in the hardware list, they're both named the same thing.
Looks like an Apple question, then, since these cannot be renamed in the OS. Thanks anyway.

Hey @spinhead, you would rename cameras at the device level as Zoom pulls the names of the devices and doesn't change them. After doing some research on device renaming I am not sure if its possible?
