Microsoft Teams External Camera on IOS IPad
Hello Tompa1978
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 external camera will be recognized in Teams on IOS for IPad?
External cameras are not currently supported on iPadOS. Whether or not Teams can utilize this feature depends on Microsoft providing support for it in their app. In the meantime, external cameras should still work with Apple-made apps like FaceTime however Microsoft is currently looking into this feature but currently there is no ETA as to when this will be implemented.

This is not true. External cameras are supported by iPadOS 17. They work for FaceTime and Zoom, but sadly not Teams. I have a similar issue in that I use my iPad extensively for work, but when I join video calls, I don’t use Teams. It’s very disruptive.
- Mbrossart mentioned this, but external cameras were recently added for support. I've done this with a Logitech using Zoom on iPadOS, and naturally Facetime supports it as well.
Curious if this is on the roadmap...- Bumping this. Just set up a dock to get external monitor, webcam, speakers, keyboard, and mouse all hooked up via USB-C on iPad Pro. Zoom works great but nada on Teams.
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.
