Hi Chris, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I believe this solution works for desktop Microsoft Teams applications, however the steps and subsequent settings options mentioned in the article are not available on MT iOS mobile app for iPad.
Cheers,

Ugh, sorry Cam you right. Doesn’t look like there is a test call functionality in IPad. I thought there may be being a larger UI.
In that case,
1.) Later today I will raise a uservoice here for the functionality
https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/
I will PM you when I have raised it
2.) I would recommend test calling or a meeting within your business to test the camera settings. If you don’t have another user within your business then a colleague within another organisation who uses Teams would suffice. Once it is setup and working then it should persistently work for all future calls/meetings.
Hope that answers your question!
Best, Chris

Dear ChrisHoardMVP
I am unable to make video calls and connect to the contact from my iPad. Also not able to receive calls but see missed call notifications.
Can you please guide me ?
Thanks

So, did this "user voice" thing produce any useful results?
It's 2020 and "the desktop" continues is slide into inevitability.
- Cam_BrownApr 14, 2020Copper ContributorNo unfortunately, I only required to use MT once on my ipad for a job interview and it proved too difficult to test so I gave up and used WhatsApp instead.
disappointing result for MT, won’t bother with it again.
Thanks for the follow up though.
Cheers
Cam- Apr 16, 2020Hi all,
The uservoice has received some votes. It's takes time to build momentum. The team at Microsoft is working on a lot of prioritised features at the moment such as custom backgrounds, increasing the 2 x 2 view to 3 x 3, yammer integration, tasks integration and dozen of other things. I wish I could say that test calling in IOS and IPad is prioritised but I don't know, and it's unlikely.
The team - engineering and product teams regularly review uservoice. It's what they use for the development process. If you were to open a call to Microsoft today they would say to open a uservoice for it if it doesn't exist. I know that's scant consolation but it's where it needs to be
Best, Chris
- Cam_BrownFeb 10, 2020Copper ContributorCheers Chris! Yep, trying to find a mate who uses Teams to help me with a test call.
Thanks for your help, much appreciated.
