How do I change the video output on Zoom?

To change your video output on Zoom, you simply select the camera you want to use from the available options connected to your device.

This process can be done either before you join a meeting or while you are already in a meeting. Zoom allows you to easily switch between different connected cameras, webcams, or integrated cameras on your computer or mobile device.

Changing Your Video Output Before a Zoom Meeting

Setting up your preferred camera before joining a meeting ensures you start with the correct video source.

Here's how to do it:

1. Open the Zoom desktop client or mobile app.
2. Click or tap on the Settings icon (usually a gear).
3. In the Settings menu, select Video.
4. Look for the Camera section. Here, you will see a dropdown menu displaying your currently selected camera.
5. Click or tap the dropdown menu and select the desired camera from the list of all cameras connected to your device.
6. You should see a preview of your video feed using the newly selected camera. Close the settings window when done.

Changing Your Video Output During a Zoom Meeting

You can also switch cameras mid-meeting if needed, perhaps to show something from a different angle or switch to a higher-quality camera.

Follow these steps:

1. While in a Zoom meeting, locate the video controls at the bottom of the Zoom window.
2. Find the Start Video / Stop Video button. Next to this button, there is a small arrow (often pointing upwards).
3. Click or tap this arrow.
4. A menu will pop up showing options related to video. At the top of this menu, you will see a list of available cameras connected to your device.
5. Click or tap the name of the camera you wish to switch to.
6. Your video feed in the meeting will immediately switch to the selected camera.

As referenced, you have the option to select all the cameras connected to your device, making it easy to choose the right video output source for your needs at any time.
