External camera for 2020 iPad Pro?

Wondering if there’s an external camera for the iPad Pro. I’m a therapist doing videoconferencing with clients and would prefer having my iPad in landscape orientation, but with the built-in camera placed on the end, it makes me look like I’m looking off to the side. Having the iPad in portrait orientation doesn’t show enough. Thanks!

External Cameras My friend has purchased an iPad Pro 12.9 for zoom use, but is frustrated with the camera being on the side used in landscape position. Can an external camera be used via a compatible USB adapter? Ive found lots of USB-C hubs which are compatible but none mention the use of it to allow an external USB camera. Thanks

Continuity Camera -- Use your iPhone as a webcam The fact that we can now easily use our iPhones as webcams is great (with the recent macOS Ventura upgrade). But there is ONE important feature missing: Wide-Angle View. Using our iPhone's wide-angle camera in regular view (not desktop view). In my case, it's for Zoom calls where I need a wide-angle webcam. Has anyone figured out how to do that or do you know if Apple plans to add that feature? Thanks.

Can I use my iphone as a webcam for my ipad pro? I realize that the iPad has its own camera, so I could stream using that. However, That’s not advantageous if I want to use the iPad as a guide for a stream’s conversation, and I want a good angle that comes from my iPhone sitting inside a ring-light in front of my desk. Can anyone confirm if this feature is unavailable? Or maybe there is a respected application I can download similar to ivCam or EpocCam (which only work with the Mac OS, rather than iOS -> iPad OS).? I would like to see a continuity camera feature that includes video, if none is currently available. The ipad angle I can achieve while using the keyboard (necessary for my task) is not conducive to a good livestream. Thanks!

Hello,

At this time iPad does not support external webcams.
