Let\u2019s take a look at how this useful feature works, as well as how you can disable it.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Center_Stage\"><\/span>What Is Center Stage?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Center Stage allows you to move around your environment while on a video call while remaining in the frame so whoever you\u2019re talking to can still see you. It uses a blend of ultra-wide-angle video capture and software wizardry to make it seem like the iPad is following you around the room.<\/p>\n<p>The feature can automatically detect when a new person enters the frame, widening the shot and adjusting the frame to include whoever it can in its 120\u00ba field of view.<\/p>\n<p>In reality, the iPad is perfectly still. This is possible thanks to the ultra-wide front-facing cameras on the latest Apple tablets. Apple is able to crop and transform the image to remove most of the perspective distortion associated with an ultra-wide lens to ensure you remain in shot.\u00a0Nicole Nguyen of the Wall Street Journal demonstrated its functionality on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nicnguyen\/status\/1395011180482101249\">Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there\u2019s a natural limitation to the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a>. If you stray too far from your iPad, you will walk outside of the camera\u2019s gaze. While the feature has mostly been touted as a FaceTime enhancement, Apple says that Center Stage will work in third-party apps, with an API available for anyone to enable the feature in their own video calling platform.<\/p>\n<p>Zoom has already been updated to take advantage of the feature,<\/p>\n<p>As of this writing in September 2021, Center Stage works in the following iPad models:<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box\">\nA Great Value<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-img \">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09G9FPHY6?tag=hotoge-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/31+KEhn35VL._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"product-title \">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Shop for Apple iPad (9th generation)\" aria-label=\"Shop for Apple iPad (9th generation)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09G9FPHY6?tag=hotoge-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Apple_iPad_9th_generation\"><\/span>Apple iPad (9th generation)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"product-features\">As of September 2021, even the least expensive, base-model iPad now come with Center Stage.
