We are creating an application, and one feature requires that other people outside the office can operate the camera during the zoom video calls. To accommodate this, we are using the zoom video SDK-1.6.2 PTZ feature, but it does not recognize the PTZ camera.

Hey @rakesh.d

Thanks for your feedback.

To enable PTZ capturing you need to set the `ptz` option `true` when calling `startVideo` method, the type definition is missed in Video SDK 1.6.2, and it’s fixed in the latest version(1.7.0).

> Documentation for Zoom Video SDK for Web - 1.7.0

Thanks  
Vic
