How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

Support for more than 1 USB camera

SRSv2, according to documentation, supported up to 2 USB cameras with switching using the video icon. I would like this feature also in the new Teams Room Systems.

    When moving to teams this has broken various client meeting rooms that had 2 main cameras under SFB

    This already exists. It was added in a firmware update along the line somewhere.
    You can connect two USB cameras to MTR and use the video icon to switch between the two USB cameras.

    I'm an art teacher. I'd like to show my face and my hands preferably at the same time within a live meeting with students, or at the very least be able to toggle between the two

    I would like simultaneous dual camera for presenting a lesson while physically demonstrating, thus the need for a second camera.

    Is this possible?

    On the Skype for Business MTR (SRS v2) there is the ability to connect 2 video cameras to the room system and users can toggle between the cameras during a call if required. (front and rear camera)
    This is a crucial capability for a number of business use cases such as presenting to a remote audience or training sessions to local and virtual participants.

    Please enable this feature on the Teams MTR and allow the selection of which should be default and allow renaming of the cameras (for a usable and differing name via settings features).

    We have clients loving their SfB MTR, but unable to migrate to Teams MTR as the feature is not currently supported in Teams. thanks!

    This works for me. Don't know if there was a recent update that allowed this?

    Anyway, my issue is that both cameras display as 'PTZ Pro2'. Not a massive issue, but I'm looking to rename them 'Front' and 'Rear' to make it easy to know which one to select when changing cameras...but this does not seem possible.

    This would be a great feature to have, please implement. Also, having PTZ control of supported USB PTZ cams within the UI would also be great.
