Jitsi Meet lacks basic camera controls
-
While searching how to manage cams from Linux, I stumbled on to this project. Probably overkill if ffmpeg can help rotating the camera.

Why not turn the camera?
I can't really tell from the picture if you can't.

The mount is not set that way, like the camera holder is for the bottom of the camera. He can certainly move the mount but then it would be in his way.

The mount cannot.
Said mount: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G379ZBHI worked around it by completely unfolding the camera. That is also annoying as it takes more space, but does work.

@JaredBusch I like how you think about the camera placement.
BTW, have you installed SIP as well on Jitsi? -

I've been lazy. I just spin up an old snapshot on Vultr every two weeks for my D&D game. I need to start from scratch with new versions of everything.

This has long been a minor pet peeve of mine. When presenting/speaking, your eyes should be just off from the camera. As if someone was standing next to it.
I'm not sure which is worse, staring directly at the camera or staring sideways/down at the screen.

And you have a small ring light too.

I specifically bought this mount because it had that. I have to wear my fedroa when presenting. It is part of me after all
so I need a front light. -

Solving issues like this through garage engineering is like crack to me. Sorry to barge in on your thread. I need an intervention.
