Turn off center stage FOREVER

I abhor center stage. I like the camera to stay where I point it. So APPLE - please ALLOW us to switch it off altogether, for all apps for all time. That is my preference and I deeply resent you forcing your preferences on your users.


So where is the control to turn it off forever?!

iPad Air, iOS 12

With the FaceTime App open, expose the Control Centre (swipe downwards from the top-right corner of the screen) - and then tap the Effects Centre Stage button:




Finally, deselect the effects - such as Centre Stage - that you don't wish to use:
