Although I have watched my fair share of KZbin instructional videos, this is the first time I have ever written a review. Hands-down, this is the best instructional presentation I have seen on KZbin. No wasted time. No talking about himself. No unnecessary filler. No distant shots of what should be up close. Instead, the presenter jumps right into it and then clearly and professionally demonstrates the process. Wham, bam, here's what you need to know. Just awesome.

_Hey Yeah! And don't forget hit that like button, _*_smash_*_ that subscribe button and pound that notification bell and mail a notarized copy of your birth certificate and an IRS Form 5471 to report your controlling interest in a foreign corporation! In the meantime, just watch this three minute generic video intro that adds absolutely no content or context to anything you're here to see!!!_

[@kevinkinsey8138]

I appreciated that this appeared to be more/less off the cuff and he spoke at a rate that didn't feel like wasting my time. Most instructional vids on YT get played at 1.25x, 1.5x, sometimes even higher....

[@kakitayuri]

Huge thank you for making this! Whiteboard interviews are so difficult when going from conversation to time at a whiteboard, back to conversation, and setting up a cam on a whiteboard then using the MacBook and having the same audio line (headset, lav, whatever) makes this totally seamless. Life saver!

[@DaveLopezMixing]

I've been looking for an easier way to switch between cameras. My initial thought was to buy a USB switcher, but that would only solve switching between two external cameras, and not my internal cam. Thanks for the tip!

[@ryanshanks5299]

This was very helpful for my online classes! Thank you for being so concise.

[@robynmclaughlin4047]

Thank you so much! I looked everywhere in Zoom and could not figure it out...I knew it had to be there. Thanks for the quick video. Problem solved!

[@lauraharrisonmusic]

Yes! Thank you so much!

[@philgibbs5090]

Thank you so much for this. I'm new to Zoom and this has helped me more than you could ever believe. Really well presented in a concise and direct way. Big thanks to you.

[@daveriley7162]

I did a DJ set on zoom tonight and this was EXACTLY what I was looking for to set up a 2-camera shot - THANK YOU!

[@christinaheath7406]

Thank you so much! That screen share camera view is just what I needed!!!

[@allish1504]

This was really helpful info. Thank you!

[@patrickr.452]

This is EXACTLY what I needed, thank you!

[@caseyonlocation8257]

Thanks for the easy explanation! This really works well! In my case, although I do already have the Elgato 4K CamLink, I don't need it because I'm using the free Canon Webcam Utility Beta app and my Canon 90D DSLR camera (or my Canon M50 camera) as my primary camera and the Logitech 4K BRIO webcam as the second camera. Yes the share screen and switch camera button in Zoom works well. In my case, I have multiple other cameras in my Zoom menu, so when I press the switch camera button, the Zoom app toggles through several different camera choices in the menu, so that's not practical for me to use that switch camera button because it cycles through camera choices that I don't want. So for me, I just click on the arrow manually to switch back and forth for the 2 camera views that I do want.

[@yougolook]

Thankyou3403 How do you disable the laptop camera built in? I’m using Mac book pro... I have three cameras but I only want to use the two better cameras and not the one on the laptop

[@edrock26]

This is an excellent tutorial! Thank you, for sharing!

[@henrihelvetica5835]

Great feature. As was also mentioned by someone else in these comments, if you have multiple platforms used (like OBS, mmhmm etc...), they all show up as cameras in the pull down/if you cycle through, which isn't ideal if you're going to be in a live presentation. This is something I hope to see addressed by Zoom at some point. But it's a nice feature. Cheers.

[@tvdavis]

Thanks for this! I love that you got right to the point. I need to set up a ZOOM meeting with my boss where I'm demonstrating something on a table in front of me, and this is exactly the information I needed!

[@sdepountis]

This helped so much! Thank you. I managed to install this setup with my mobile phone as a second camera for my son's piano lessons which are now mandatory remote due to Covid-19. Now the teacher has one view of his hands and a full view of him at the same time.

[@rachelstone3079]

I was going to ask... how did you set up the iPhone as the second camera with Zoom?

[@sdepountis]

@@rachelstone3079 I don't have an iPhone or Mac (I don't do such mistakes :)). I have an Android phone and use an app called DroidCam. You download the app on the phone and a program in your PC. This connects both devices via USB or wireless and it essentially creates a second webcam on your PC (second device) which you can switch from and to in zoom. There should be similar apps for iPhone I guess though.

[@rossanaleblanc]

I watched several videos and yours was by far the clearest, finally, I think I may be able to do it! I want to teach with two cameras. Thanks!!!

[@swhitestudio9846]

Thank you for this video. Quick, easily explained without a lot of words, and personally applied.

[@CarlSagan6]

needed this info quick and you delivered my man

[@joehiller6623]

Thank you. Our HS Tutoring program will like this a great deal. I already do a live streaming event weekly; so I have all the equipment I need for this. Nice and Easy.

[@fabromsil]

Thank you for this! You explained it so well and efficiently. I’m now excited to get a multi-cam system set up so I can teach sewing via zoom.

[@knittingdiva]

Fantastic! I am expanding my knitting lessons to include Zoom lessons. This will allow me to situate a second camera to teach different stitches and techniques. Thank you!

[@garyjones101]

Super video! Exactly what I needed to know to help an art teacher with. THANKS!

[@MaestraLopez1]

Wow this was super awesome and easy!!!! Blessing for you!

[@LessonsFromGrandson]

You have a great presentation style. Thanks for sharing!

[@jozsefnagy7104]

Great and very useful video - thanks for that.

[@jeffsamaha2491]

Hi, thanks for the tutorial. I use my main camera with the hdmi capture. For the other cameras, I use iphones and have them join the meeting. Now I can switch between cameras by pinning which is an extra step. But the extra step is better than having the switch dip to black every time you switch cameras. So if you are doing an interview with numerous iphones or people, the cuts are clean. Just a thought.

[@cedarparkmom]

Hi, what camera did you us above you and did you just hang it from a hook or something? Looking to give some kids some directions to play a game, so need to know those details. Great video! Thank you so much!

[@rickthompson3222]

Thanks, just what I needed to learn!!

[@lauraharrisonmusic]

Thank you SO much for this video! I'm so intimidated by tech! My students will love you for it :)

[@antoinettevelardes4545]

Thanks so much! So quick and easy!

[@NicolayLeganger]

Just want to thank you very much for this video! I was diving into Zoom help and got "lost" in zoom rooms. But Lucily I found your video, that made it a breeze to understand. One thing I needed som replays to get, was the "switch camera" button, wich I would suggest could be highlighted, since the area and mouse pointer are so small. But 4 times repeat and I noticed :-) . So thank you, and thank you again. You made my day, I will follow you! Best of luck to you!

[@joycedi5156]

Thanks so much. Very clear and super helpful! - now I can do it!!

Thank you for this brilliant information. I got a perfect answer:) Can you suggest how to keep my icon or a watermark on the screen while teaching on Zoom.

[@runwalkgo545]

Great vid! I'm going to try in a conference room tomorrow. The question I have is will this work if all the gadgets are hooked up to a Crestron and feed into the PC, not directly connected like you have here.

[@mr.brianboles5390]

Thanks that was very helpful!

[@HANGINWITHTHEDREAMER]

Thank you so much for that very helpful content my question is how many WebCams can I add under the share screen option I am on the basic plan thank you keep up the great work

[@breannemartens1607]

Thank you so much for this video!!! I do online tarot card readings for people and this is super helpful for people to see me and the cards. Sending you love, light and good karma!

[@jayseaa4524]

thank u .. your video helped me!

[@armandovillamizar9052]

Perfect, thank you

[@paulafair4953]

Thank you that is helpful. I have been using two computers and so this simplifies life. Do you know if there is a way to smoothly go between screen share and "dual camera mode"? In my solo test, I found that I can set up the dual camera, thanks to you, and screen share at the same time. However, when I go out of screen share, it also goes back to just one camera. For context, I am a math tutor. I find that I am consistently going back and forth between my second camera as the large screen camera and the screen share. I understand there may be technical limitations and so I just thought I'd ask. My previous workaround has been to have two computers and just log into zoom twice. Sometimes this is giving electronic feedback. So if you don't know how to do the first thing I asked, then a workaround for the other problem would be my second request. No matter what, thanks for putting up good content!

[@JayJasperPugao]

Awesome. Thanks for sharing

[@nuggetstudios9061]

Hi there, thanks for your video introducing the duo cam function. However, I wonder if it’s possible to put up two cams sharing a similar space on the same screen, say half and half?

[@raybobrich]

you could do that by spotlighting the two cameras for everyone -- this will give only those two views when a viewer sets their view to "Speaker View" I use this all the time for small group discussion inside larger meetings.

[@angelakm6753]

Excellent, thank you!

[@moonskye]

Awesome. Thank you.

[@jeffsstuff6575]

Great tutorial, thanks! Question: How can I get my 2nd camera video and audio to be in sync?

[@dhruvjyoti]

This is awesome! I looked everywhere on the zoom website and this simple trick did not exist - Can you use the same thing for 3 cameras? Or 4? is there a limit?

[@coachzanze]

Yessss. I found you. Yay! Thanks

[@edwinpaul5365]

Awesome. Thanks!!
