Select a Different Camera

During a Zoom meeting, you can switch to a different camera for a better image or if your original camera stops working. Most Zoom users have just one camera, which is the one built in to the device they are using to join the meeting. However, if you have a second camera connected to your device, you might find that camera has better light or a better image quality. If so, or if your original camera is not working, then you can switch to the other camera during the meeting.
