Zoom & Microsoft Teams Integration FAQ

Can I use PTZ cameras with Zoom or Microsoft Teams?

Yes. PTZ cameras from CineJade can be used with Zoom and Microsoft Teams in two main ways:

• USB or HDMI to USB: Connects directly to your computer and appears as a webcam.

• NDI Virtual Camera: With OBS or vMix, you can send a camera feed (or a full mixed scene) into Zoom/Teams using a Virtual Camera output.

This means you get professional, switchable angles inside the same meeting software your audience is already using.

Can I switch between multiple PTZ cameras in Zoom?

Zoom and Teams allow only one video input at a time. To switch between cameras live:

• Use OBS or vMix to mix multiple cameras, add overlays, and switch angles.

• Then route the final mixed output into Zoom/Teams via OBS Virtual Camera.

This lets you run a polished, multi-camera livestream with full control—all inside a normal video call.

Can I show PowerPoint or screen share along with my cameras?

Yes—there are two approaches:

A) Use Zoom or Teams' built-in screen share to show slides while using your PTZ feed as the video input.

B) For a more dynamic result, use OBS or vMix to:

• Combine your slides and camera in one frame (picture-in-picture or split-screen)

• Output that scene to Zoom/Teams via Virtual Camera

• Maintain smooth branding and transitions during your presentation

We can help you set up your scenes and automate camera-to-slide switching.

Can I use wireless mics in Zoom or Teams?

Absolutely. Wireless microphone systems (like lavaliers or handhelds) connect to:

• An audio mixer, which then connects via USB to your computer

• Or directly via a USB wireless receiver or audio interface

Zoom/Teams will treat this input as your microphone. The result: better audio clarity, less echo, and hands-free movement.

Will Zoom or Teams affect video/audio quality?

Yes—both platforms compress video and audio to maintain connection stability. This means:

• Your video may look slightly softer than a direct livestream to YouTube or a local recording

• Audio may be mono and filtered (to avoid background noise)

Solutions:

• Use good lighting and camera placement to improve quality within limits

• Record locally in OBS or with a separate device for high-quality playback or re-use

• For public-facing events, consider simultaneous livestream + Zoom, or pre-recorded content shared via screen share
