Does MS Teams support dual video inputs yet? I refuse to do the whole "click through a powerpoint clumsily while in edit mode with private DM notifications popping off in the background" thing I see too damn often so I use the OBS Virtual Cam. Zoom picks this up easily. Last I ran Teams (admittedly two years ago), if I tried to do the same, it would just set my camera feed to the virtual cam.

If you're on a Mac, you can use BetterDisplay to create a virtual screen that can be used exclusively for sharing stuff on Teams. Make that your secondary display, and problem solved. Best part about this is that you don't need multiple monitors to make this work!

It allows you to choose what screen or window you want to present if that's what your asking.

That's not what I'm asking. Any teleconferencing app lets you do that.

Specifically, in Zoom, I can share from a second camera. This could be a USB Webcam, or a USB/PCIe HDMI Capture Card, or OBS' Virtual Camera plugin. I prefer the latter as it gives me lots of flexibility, can present full screen Keynote/Powerpoints while keeping my desktop/windows arranged how I like, with presenter notes up, and switch to a USB HDMI capture card with the click of a button in OBS, with custom text, transitions, etc.

Last I checked, Teams assumed any camera input was for the "Camera", not for the screen share.
