Fantastic, now my social anxiety will cripple me in video chats too.

I heard a rumor that Apple FaceTime does something similar, but I could not find any definitive evidence of it. Does anyone know more about it?

Apple ha it built in to iPhones now too. Center Stage is the name of the feature, but I think it is only available on FaceTime calls

That's not what Center Stage is.

Center Stage is a feature where a device uses an ultra-wide camera, and then is supposed to track your _face_ as you move and shift around it it's field of view.

I find it most useful for FaceTime calls on Apple TV, where you can leave your phone near the TV, and it will automatically frame you sitting on the couch and will follow you as you shift around, etc.

There is a similar feature to what you're describing for FaceTime, but I don't think it has any cutesy name.

You’re right, center stage is not the name of the feature. The feature does exist though, I believe it is called Eye Contact.
