Hi Kyle, did you ever get a response about this? I’m looking for the camera controls and don’t see anything.

Thanks.

The pre-release ZR-CSAPI has PTZ controls; however, I do not know if Extron has incorporated those API commands into the Extron drivers.

Thanks for the response Scott.

I’m actually developing a driver for Crestron and I have a Logitech Meetup camera / mic. So are you saying that there is a pre-release version of the API that I could use for PTZ control or will I need to wait until it’s released?

Thanks.

I’m updating this reply to remove the reference to the Google form that requests the ZR-CSAPI, since the ZR-CSAPI is now enabled for all Zoom accounts by default.

For the PTZ stuff: All PTZ cameras supported by the Zoom room are also supposed by the ZR-CSAPI.
