Multiple Video Streams

Question

I have multiple cameras in the same room that I'd like to join into a Teams call. I'd like each user that joins the meeting to be able to freely select which camera feed they are viewing (hence, not Teams Live Event). Could anyone point me in the right direction?  It seems like I could have each device join as a participant and share their respective video source.

Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

Thank you for your response. For API relate inquiries, you can post them here on Teams developers support forum:

They have a better knowledge when it comes to program. They can provide more accurate inputs.

Thanks for understanding!

Hopefully this helps!

Answer 2

So, I'd need a device attached to each camera to add them into the meeting right?  These are IP cameras, and I was wondering if I could add them to the call magically through the API.  We have been able to start a call with the API, but the next step is to add each device.

Answer 3

Thank you for the reply!

Perhaps I have 5 cameras that I want to present; it seems like I could accomplish what I want if each device were to join the meeting as a participant.  I want all 5 cameras to be present in the meeting at the same time.  T

Answer 4

I agree with you. You can add them as presenters as well.

Hi Wesmantooth,

Good day! Hope you are doing well. I am Jennifer, an Independent Advisor and Teams user like you.

Based on your case description, currently there is one setting is available for camera in the Microsoft Teams.

A. Click your Profile picture at the top of Teams, then Settings > Devices > Under Camera, select the camera which you want to use for teams meeting on the Microsoft Teams.

B. You may refer this detailed official information article about: Change your default mic, speaker, or camera - https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Manage...

Kindly confirm if this helps. Thank you and stay safe!
