There are cameras and then there are video conference cameras. The difference is the quality of the end result. Ordinary cameras that have upgraded from web cameras to work as video conference cameras may be able to get the front view, but just move a little to the side and see what happens. With these cameras you have to virtually sit at 90 degrees opposite them for the person at the other side to be able to see you on their video screens during a video conference. What you need to use for a video conference is a video conference camera that has been made for the very purpose – video conferencing.
