During a Zoom, Skype, or other session, I've found it frustrating to be looking at my monitor, but other folks are seeing me with my eyes not looking at them, because the camera is on top of the monitor. My solution was to find a small web camera and 3D Print a holder, so it is in front of my monitor, close to where I look. If, while in the Zoom (or other) session, the camera holder blocks what you want to look at on your monitor, you can simply slide the camera left or right. I find it very unobtrusive. It is made for a specific camera, it costs 45 usd on Amazon. There is no microphone in this camera, so you need to provide your own. Link to the USB camera is here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KA7WSSU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 You have to break off the edges of the circuit board to make it smaller so it will fit in the "WebCamHolder-Camera". The circuit board is designed with this in mind. The camera is adjustable for elevation, so you can center your face.
