With the unveiling of the M1 iPad Pro last month, Apple introduced “Center Stage”, a feature that will use the front-facing ultrawide camera to follow you as you move. This works for FaceTime natively, but third-party apps need to implement it independently.
Now, Zoom has become among the first to implement this feature into their app. From the Zoom blog post:
For those who want a little extra freedom to roam while Zooming on iPad, you’ll love our support for Center Stage!
Center Stage, new to Apple’s 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models, uses the ultrawide front camera and machine learning to keep you in frame as you move, allowing you to go hands-free or move about during a video call. Center Stage even recognizes when others join or exit the frame, automatically adjusting to fit everyone in.
With support for Center Stage, you can participate more naturally in our Zoom video calls. Never again worry about whether you’re out of frame during a workout, teaching a class, or celebrating with friends and family over Zoom.
Also featured in this app update is the ability to show up to 48 videos in gallery view, which will be available on “many iPad models” in addition to the new iPad Pro.
