Setting yourself up for a video call can take a while. To get the frame just right, you may need to stack your laptop on some books, adjust your webcam’s angle, shift your chair a little, and the list goes on. Even trickier is maintaining this frame on a lengthy conference. One move for the water bottle or the whiteboard behind you can hamper it in an instant. What if your computer’s webcam could follow you?
With the help of smart software and hardware, your webcam can automatically keep you in the frame even when you move or go outside of its field of view. In addition to apps that can intelligently crop the scene to anchor your face in the center, some of the best webcams can even physically turn to shadow your movements.
