So…

I'm hosting a game on my computer so all players can see each other.

I have my tablet on a tripod above the table showing the playing area. It is also on Zoom as a participant and I have pinned the tablet screen so it's the main view for the players.

I'm using a phone as a mobile camera for close-ups, LoS, dice rolls, etc. It is also on Zoom as a participant. BUT…I can't make the phone view full screen on the phone. It's a smaller screen to the main table screen.

How can I get the phone view to be full screen on just my phone so I can see it better and larger?

Any answers out there?

Plan B is to forget the phone on Zoom and switch to a video chat app.

Thanks

You can 'pin' participants to be full screen. I'm working on using 3 cameras (3 logins). one for each baseline view and one overheard/zoom in

We just ran a game this weekend with 2 cameras. Key is to get a good steady view of the table.

I'm setting up a demo soon, want in?

Somehow I got it to work the second time I set up a meeting simply by double tapping on the phone view…something I tried numerous times the first time but didn't work.

Go figure.
