Controlling a local camera
If your Zoom Room uses a PTZ Camera with UVC controls, you can use your iPad controller to move the camera to a different position.
To control the camera in your Zoom Room:
- Start or join a meeting.
- Tap the Camera Control icon.
- Use the icons on the Camera Control popup to zoom and pan until the camera is in the position you need.
- Tap Done to return to the meeting controls.
Note:
- If you do not want to use the mirror effect for your own video display (where the display of your own Zoom Room looks like a mirror), you can disable this setting by clicking the toggle .
- If you are using a PanaCast v3 or Huddly IQ, you can use the Intelligent Zoom (or Auto-Framing) feature for that camera. Tap the Camera Control icon, and then enable the Intelligent Zoom option by clicking the toggle . The camera automatically adjusts to show the optimal view based on the location of people in the room.
Controlling a remote camera
You can remotely control the camera of another participant or another Zoom Room if you are using an iPad controller version 4.0 or later. To remotely control another camera:
- Start or join a meeting.
- Tap the Manage Participants icon to display the list of meeting participants.

- The participant receives a message, asking for approval. After the participant approves the request, you see a message letting you know that you can control the camera.
- Tap Now to display the camera controls for the remote participant.
- Use the icons to zoom and pan until the camera is in the correct position.
