Moving camera function from display to iMac

When doing zoom calls, the camera on the display opens instead of on the iMac, how do I move it?

The display is a couple of years old and has darken, so I need to use the iMac for better clarity.

iMac 27″ 5K, macOS 10.15

Hi JMNYC5,


Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand that when you're using Zoom the camera defaults to the one on your display and not your iMac, so we'd like to see how we can help. While the meeting is in session, try tapping the upward facing arrow next to the video icon on the bottom left. You should see the option to select your FaceTime camera from there. You may also find some helpful information here: Zoom Room meeting controls and settings. If you need additional assistance click the Contact Support link at the top of that page to be connected with Zoom support.


We hope this information helps.


Cheers!
