Great video. Can I ask? Can you have 2 of the same make of webcam installed on your Mac and switch between like you have done on this very useful video? Thanks .

This is helpful! And it worked for a short bit then mid way through my video, the sound kept breaking up. Any recommendations? I am using a Samson wireless headset and logi webcam.

Hi. One query from a Zoom User:
"I have not been able to figure out how to adjust the camera zoom (ironically). I have an HD desktop camera that doesn't move ever and I'd like to set up a default frame - it's currently too wide.
When I adjust the camera through the logitech software, it doesn't apply it when on zoom video call.



How do I adjust the camera in zoom and set a video view default?"


Can you help? Is there an option to adjust the frame size of the camera?

So I setup my DSLR camera to use instead of my built in camera?

[gabetaylor]

What if the mic and camera are the same device?

[MarkJeffries]

Since the updates (5.0) Zoom seems to have removed the ability to use any external camera!! Has anyone found a fix?

[paulaangelone]

do you have to have zoom pro for this?

[AnneMarieArchibald]

when I open Zoom I don't even get the option to open preferences.

Please change title to "Zoom How to Use an External Webcam and Mic for Mac (2020)." Thanks.

useless... what if zoom isn't recognizing the external camera all of a sudden?
