How to use Apple’s Center Stage feature with Zoom

In cloud collaboration software like Zoom, Apple has just added a new Centre Stage feature that keeps video on while the person is moving around in front of the iPad. The iPad’s placement in the center of the video allows for a more dynamic and engaging video experience, and you do not have to move it in order to remain at the center.

Prerequisites for using Apple’s Center Stage feature with Zoom

  • Zoom mobile app for iOS: version 5.6.6 (423) or higher
  • iPad Pro 12.9″ (5th generation)
