I would love to see an answer to this. I use a 43" 4K monitor, and have not been able to find a good position for the camera.
Below the screen: Unflattering view up my nostrils.
Above the screen: Makes me look as if I am trying to avoid eye contact.
To the side: Combination of unflattering and no eye contact.
I wish there were software that could take input from two cameras (high and low) and create a fake view of me looking directly into a camera.
- aantix 5y agoWould you like this middle of the monitor webcam? https://www.thecentercam.com/ https://www.thecentercam.com/
- sundvor 5y agoThat's a great idea! I don't like how the clip eats up display at the top - it should be possible to have this more compact, like e.g. Logitech's top of monitor mounts. Would be nice if they had a hinge on it so that it could swivel 90 degrees out of sight when not in use. I'm achieving largely the same with my flex mount solution, although I do have to have it to the left a bit due to my middle top monitor. I have a lot more of the monitor obscured though, but it's not that bad. When e.g. Samsung perfects their under display cameras, we can hope for built in behind pixel cameras in regular monitors. Give it a few years!
- rcv 5y agoThis was supposed to be a feature of iOS 13. No idea if it actually made it to production: https://petapixel.com/2019/07/03/apple-can-automatically-correct-your-gaze-in-video-calls-on-ios-13/ https://petapixel.com/2019/07/03/apple-can-automatically-cor...
- sundvor 5y agoSee above; I sympathise completely, was not happy with how my camera was positioned before. It's not perfect, but nonetheless a huge improvement.
