New features are going to get weird and pointless as smartphone sales continue to drop.
To be honest, if the camera was positioned in the average place where a person's eyes would be in a video call, then we'd finally have eye-to-eye conversations.
But as usual, I want to be able to tell where my camera is, so that I can put some black tape on it.
People usually end up looking at their own preview anyway, instead of whomever they are calling
I started disabling my own view during zoom meetings because I found myself always looking at myself lol
Don't they already have a solution for that? Not sure about Android but I remember FaceTime having an option to make it look like you're looking into the camera instead of down to the center.
