Using auto follow in the app on the iPad
Auto follow powered by Center Stage is a feature of iPadOS which allows the front-facing ultrawide camera to automatically adjust to keep you in the center of the frame during a Video meeting.
During your Video meeting, turn your front-facing camera on yourself and click the icon in the bottom right corner of your personal video screen to enable or disable auto follow.
The feature is only available for an iPad that supports Apple Center Stage.
