Use Centre Stage on your iPad or Studio Display

Centre Stage uses machine learning to adjust the front-facing Ultra Wide camera when you use video apps such as FaceTime on your compatible iPad model or Mac connected to Studio Display. As you move around, Centre Stage helps keep you and anyone else who is with you in the frame.
