I have an external monitor above the laptop so I put the video window spanning the two screens and then the camera is in the middle of the window I am looking at.
Placing the screen further away and using more zoom on the camera will also help

    Yes, indeed! One thing you can’t do with the built-in camera, sadly!

    There’s a picture of another of my setups at the bottom of this post. But that middle screen is quite small for any usable windows, so once I got a long-enough Arri arm to mount my camera above my 27″ iMac, I moved it there!

I’ve addressed this very point in these two videos… going to be taking this further this week.

Got Something To Say:

To create code blocks or other preformatted text, indent by four spaces:

    This will be displayed in a monospaced font. The first four 
    spaces will be stripped off, but all other whitespace
    will be preserved.
    
    Markdown is turned off in code blocks:

To create not a block, but an inline code span, use backticks: 

Here is some inline `code`.
