Use wide angle on front facing camera iPad Pro instead of center stage

Hi, can we use the wide angle on the iPad Pro's front facing camera? I notice in Zoom, I have the option to use Center Stage or not. If not using Center Stage it just shows a zoomed in image. Same with FaceTime. I want the whole wide angle to be used. Possible or no?

Using Front Ipad camera for Zoom and TEAMS calls — need wide angle i use my Ipad for Zoom and team meetings, and I have a 2021 IPad Air as well a 2020 IPad Air, both with cameras on the “top” of the iPad if you hold the iPad vertical. The problem is that in this position the camera reverts to a narrow image and crops either side of the view, which looks strange when I’m in a room with 50 other people who do not have this issue. Looks like I’m calling in my iPhone. I put my iPad in the horizontal position for zoom calls, then I get the view I want … but then I’m not looking at people directly on zoom and I’m off to the side. Frustrating. So question is this: is there a way to get the iPad front camera to operate as a wide angle lens? It doesn’t seem to have this problem when the iPad is horizontal, so you’d think this issue could be solved with software or an update. Thanks!

Camera angle on ipad 9 for zoom/facetime When using Facetime and Zoom, the camera angle shows me looking down and away from the center if the screen. Is there any way to adjust the lens angle? I turned on portrait and turned off the function where the camera moves with me. This helped some. I use Zoom often for work and it is important that I have as near to direct eye contact as possible in my virtual meetings with individuals (while still being able to see their faces in the center of my screen). My iphone and laptop do not have this problem, nor do I recall it being an issue on my old ipad mini.

Hi fultonmh,

It sounds like you're trying to turn off there Center Stage setting on an iPad. We're happy to offer some guidance.

When you're on a FaceTime call open Control Center by swiping down from the top-right corner. In Control Center you'll see a "Video Effects" option, select that. Then just tap the Center Stage option to turn it off.

You can find more info on using the Center Stage setting here: Use Center Stage on your iPad

Hope this helps. Cheers!
