A conference room can be configured with multi-camera mode, which allows you use multiple cameras at the same time from the same conference room. In addition to providing different viewing angles of the room, you can use the cameras to capture a better image of the in-room participants for better recording.

Note: Zoom Rooms are currently unable to use both Smart Gallery (Multi-Stream) and Multi-Camera modes at the same time.

How to use Multi-Camera mode in a Zoom Room

How remote attendees experience Multi-Camera mode

As a remote attendee, if you are using the Gallery view, Side-by-Side view, or Thumbnail view of Zoom Room, you will also be able to view the video feeds of all enabled cameras (up to three) which are connected to the Zoom Room. It is possible for attendees to pin individual camera video feeds or to have the meeting host spotlight the feeds by pinning them. With Zoom Room cameras, each video feed is displayed in full resolution as if it was an individual member of a meeting and is displayed in the appropriate Zoom Room view. Usually, the individual camera feeds are labeled in the same way as the Zoom Room itself, with dashes and numbers appended to the secondary feeds to identify which feed is which. A good example of this would be naming the main video feed of the camera “Home Room” and naming the secondary video feeds of the camera “Home Room – 2” and “Home Room – 3”.
