    welcome to the Microsoft community, My name is Recep I'll be happy to help you today.

    I understand that you want to know when Microsoft is going to update the Teams for IOS client to support external cameras.

     

    After further research, I can see that this feature was just rolled out August 23rd, 2023, by Apple however please note that Microsoft is still working on this update but currently there is no ETA as to when this will be implemented.

    I've found a workaround until Microsoft provides support for the native iPad OS app. I was able to get my camera recognized using the Teams web app on Safari only. This doesn't work in Edge or Chrome, and I didn't test with Firefox so YMMV. You also lose the ability to customize webcam setting if you have a companion app for Windows or Mac, but at least your camera *should* function. For reference, I'm using an Insta360 Link.

    Also, if you have another browser set as default other than Safari, don't waste your time saving the tab to your home page, as it will open in the non-compatible browser.

    Hope this helps!
