How can I disable Centre Stage on new MacBook Pro?

I need wide screen in my office so training items behind me are visible while meeting or training. Centre stage blurs the background and is not widescreen. If this is not disabled it negatively impacts my consultancy and training.

Auto-Framing - Struggling to stop Zoom Workplace working even though it's disabled in the app. Hi, I have a new macbook pro Apple M5 Tahoe 26.0. I'm trying to set up my zoom workplace so I can teach classes online and I don't want me camera to be constantly tracking and moving while I move. I've disabled auto-framing in the Zoom Workplace App but it's still happening. Can anyone help me stop this as it's making me dizzy and my students can't see what I'm writing on my whiteboard.

How can I turn off Center Stage in Zoom on a Macbook Pro without the camera settings toggle? Hi, I am a facilitator who relies on having the full camera to show props and things. Everything I've found about turning off center stage says to toggle off something in camera settings that I do not have. At first I thought it was a Zoom setting, but have learned center stage is an Apple feature. I have been trying to turn it off for the last 30 minutes, and cannot find any solutions that actually exist in my settings either in Zoom or on my Macbook pro. Please help!

Macbook Pro: Focus and lock screen behavior I'm trying to setup a focus for presentation that limited notification and prevents my Macbook from going to sleep or locking the screen. As of right now the only way I can figure out how to do this is by activating a focus and then separately changing the lock screen behavior in settings. Am I missing something? Is it possible to change lock screen behavior in the focus settings? Ideally, I'd be able to activate a focus for my seminar/lecture and not worry additional clicking around to make this work.
