Using Zoom with External Cameras and Microphones

Zoom can be used with external cameras and microphones to enhance the video and audio quality of your meetings. If your computer or mobile device does not have a built-in camera or microphone, you can connect an external device to improve the quality of your video and audio. Zoom supports most USB cameras and microphones, as well as webcams, and headsets. You can also connect multiple cameras and microphones to Zoom, allowing you to switch between them during a meeting.

• Zoom allows you to use external cameras and microphones to enhance the audio and video quality of your meetings.
• To use an external camera, connect it to your computer or mobile device via USB or HDMI and select it as the camera source in Zoom’s settings.
• To use an external microphone, connect it to your computer or mobile device via USB or a 3.5mm audio jack and select it as the microphone source in Zoom’s settings.
• Make sure your external camera and microphone are compatible with your device and operating system before using them in Zoom.
