How remote attendees experience Multi-Camera mode
Remote attendees will be able to view the video feeds of all enabled cameras (up to four) from the Zoom Room if they are using the Gallery, Side-by-Side, or Thumbnail views. Individual camera video feeds may be pinned by attendees or spotlighted by the meeting host. Each Zoom Room camera video feed is displayed as a distinct meeting participant with full resolution appropriate for the current view.
By default, the individual camera video feeds are labeled based on the name of the Zoom Room itself, with the secondary feeds appending a dash and a number. For example, the main camera video feed could be named “Home Room,” and the secondary camera feeds “Home Room - 2”, “Home Room - 3”, and “Home Room - 4”. Users with access to the room's settings can rename each camera feed if they prefer to display custom names to participants.
