Applying the multi-camera mode on Zoom is quite simple. To accomplish that, connect your cameras to your computer. Afterward, start the meeting, hit the Share Screen button, move into the Advanced section, and choose Content from 2nd Camera option.

While using the multiple-camera mode on your Zoom, you must have several cameras connected to your computer. Below I have given the camera connection setup you need on desktops and laptops to apply multiple cameras on Zoom.
Here is the connection setup you can choose for your Desktop and Laptop:
For Desktop
- You can Manage 2 webcams with USB cables and attach them to your desktop.
- Also, you can choose 1 webcam and one video camera like a DSLR. Connect the webcam to your pc. Manage a device that can attach your video camera to your computer.
Suppose your video cam supports HDMI, then connect your video camera with the HDMI to USB conversion device and attach it to your computer. 
For Laptop
- By default, a laptop contains a webcam, so to use the multi-camera function on Zoom, you will need one more camera. It can be another webcam or a video cam; the choice is up to you.
After selecting a suitable camera, connect it to your laptop.
