Microsoft Teams External Camera on IOS IPad
I HAD IT WORKING! on current stable iOS 17.5.1 and Teams 6.14.0 2024Jul-T2. (right after the issue that main camera video is upside down). Directly from Teams app, It requires some fidgeting I'm still figuring out (the order of connecting/reconnecting the camera vs starting Teams App/reconnecting power). I'm using Logitech G920 and the usb hub has to be powered. It shows good on both main and external screen. The only main issue is that Teams is displaying the camera in portrait (the aspect is 9:16, not 16:9), it's not a big issue. The orientation is right.
FilipPokorny If you work it out please share. I was able to get it working also on the build just before the upside down M4 ipad video issue but couldn’t work out the specific combination of plugging / restarting teams to replicate. However since the latest teams build, 6.14.1 (fixed upside down video on m4) i can’t get it to bring in an external webcam feed at all.
What I've done is the following:
1. Force quit Teams
2. Start FaceTime and switch the correct camera
3. Leave FaceTime running and start Teams
4. Join your meeting
It doesn't always work the first time. The most I've had to repeat the sequence is twice.We're running iOS 17.5.1, with Teams 6.14.1 Build 6.14.77.2024142602/0727

Teams has mentioned that this has also been added in the What’s new in Microsoft Teams but its not working for me on my iPad.
