Microsoft has declare Teams for iPad now supports external cameras, allowing users with older devices to connect higher-quality webcams during Teams calls.

Team iPad external camera support
In iPadOS 17, Apple added support for connecting external cameras to the iPad via the USB-C port, and Microsoft has begun to add support for those who want the benefit of higher resolutions, better dynamic range, and the ability to adjust angles. Benefited users use this feature when conducting video conferencing.

Thanks to Microsoft’s implementation, connecting your camera for use in Teams is easy. Before or during a Teams meeting, plug an external camera into your iPad’s USB-C port and the app will automatically select it for use during the call. To switch back to the iPad’s built-in lens, simply disconnect the external camera.

Support’s plug-and-play simplicity does mean there are currently no native or Teams controls for manually switching between the iPad’s internal and external cameras. At least for now, Teams defaults to using the connected external camera whenever it’s plugged in.

Microsoft says it supports most webcams that work over a USB-C connection, so finding a compatible model shouldn’t be a problem.
