Teams has a pretty zoomed out picture with the Studio Display's built-in webcam. Are there no settings available for the camera (i.e., to zoom in, turn off center stage, etc.)?
 
Update: I was able to disable Center Stage and turn on portrait mode. When using video, use the macOS control center and you can select options there.

Haven't tried Teams again after doing this. Hopefully it fixes the widescreen effect. If not, I may have to use my Logitech Brio again (especially since I can zoom in).
 
I still haven't figured this out. Zoom works pretty well, but MS Teams is awful. I have to get close and lower my screen to an unnatural angle, otherwise, I'm a small head on the bottom of everyone's screen.

How did you manage to do this with?

I have tried to find the settings but cannot find them...

Did you run Teams at the same time, like during an actual meeting?

When you're using the camera (just open FaceTime app and it'll start using your camera), click the control center icon (the slider icon next to Siri in the menubar). Above WiFi, Bluetooth, and AirDrops settings you should see the camera settings. The camera/microphone settings will only show up with the camera active.

Thanks for this, but I realised now that Center Stage works fine. I opened a test call in Teams and I just had to turn on Center Stage in settings and it worked fine :)

Have some real meetings today so will see how it goes, but it worked fine at least in the test call.

If I turned off Center Stage on the other hand, I was a small little head at the bottom of the screen haha.

Problem is that if you move around too much, it'll make your clients/coworkers dizzy. Center Stage had no business being in the ASD.

Thats weird, I don't know how much your moving but I have swivelled a lot and its very very smooth and slow moving.

Also, you might wanna send your coworkers to the doctors if they get dizzy from your camera moving 2mm left and right :D

Or just turn it off.
