Teams camera device when using Poly CCX 500 phone

When I am in a call and use my Poly CCX 500 phone for audio I cannot use a webcam that is directly attached to my computer. It will only let me use a camera attached to the phone.

 

This is a serious issue.

    Join the conversation from your computer as well and then you can use the camera. I do it all the time.

      I did join from my computer. I was using the phone as the audio device and it would not let me do that and use a camera that is not connected to the phone.

        Are you saying you join from your phone and your computer at the same time?

         

        On my computer if I have the phone selected as the audio device it always changes the camera to the phone. If I change the camera back to my USB camera on my computer I am not able to use the phone as an audio device. This is going to frustrate any users I give one one of these phones to.

         

        The clear benefit to using the phone is that it handles the duplexing of audio much better than "pc mic and speakers"
