Webcam for video call - eye level

2

I've begun doing video calls with a Logitech webcam. Problem is that mounting on top or bottom of monitor looks awful - can't make eye contact with the person, the angle is up or down my face. How can I mount the camera so it's eye level?

One idea I had was to clip eye level to the side of the monitor. But A) I can't rotate the image and B) it's hard to make it stay there.

Get a small camera stand - such as this example, assuming your cam has the appropriate screw-thread.

However, you'll have to set the cam right in front of their face on screen to achieve what you ask - might be somewhat distracting.

Clever product if what you need is a teleprompter. Looks like it would interfere with the screen for other applications. – fixer1234 – 2016-04-26T18:42:44.323

Dangle it from the ceiling on a string. Use more strings to stabalize it so it faces forward. Put it on a pulley to move it out of the way when not in use.
