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 serio...

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"
- Ed WoodrickMay 14, 2021Brass ContributorYes, I join from both. I join the PC second and it joins without audio.
You are confusing me as well, because I'm pretty sure that the CCX 500 phone doesn't support video.- Keith LaudenbergerMay 14, 2021Brass ContributorThat is my understanding (ccx500 does not support video). That is why I don't understand why the client will not let my pick a different video device and let me join one time. Like I said We have a lot of users who are going to dislike that and say zoom is better.
