That only works if they are on a laptop.

I work off a desktop with two 28" monitors and my camera sits above them in the center, and the meeting has to be on the left monitor or the right monitor, not straddling the middle, so you will never get that feeling of me looking directly at you.

I am, however, thinking of making something that deepfakes the perspective change correctly.

Or, you know, move your camera 14 inches to one side or the other.

Won't do much, it still looks at me from above because the monitor is so big.

Well, don't deepfake it. Strap a big long selfie stick to your head and hang the camera in front of your face :-)

I have two different setups, one with a laptop that has an external monitor; one that is my tower with two monitors. On both, the camera is basically over the monitor I use for video conferencing. I don't care if somebody notices me staring at the other monitor - it's no worse than staring at the desk during a face-to-face meeting while somebody else is talking.

Or you could, you know, move the camera. I keep mine centered on top of my main monitor.
