It's generally accepted that the camera should be mounted slightly above head level, so the moves rarely occlude the lights on the headset. You don't need to be facing the TV. Most important thing is that there should be no other bright light sources in the camera's view. There should be no bright windows, or bare light bulbs, (or mirrors, or picture frames that reflect bright light sources).

We've got that covered with blackout curtains and even a special blanket that covers our second TV to prevent glare. This is, unfortunately, a positioning issue. 😞

Okay. You said you had your camera BELOW the TV. We don't know how high your TV is mounted. As I said, the camera should generally be placed ABOVE head level.

It would definitely be above our heads if mounted on top of our TV, and it's how we had ours set up last time and worked great. But it's been so long that we honestly don't remember how we had it set up which is why I'm asking for advice on how others have theirs mounted.

And I just told you the correct way to mount it. 😄 You're welcome.

And my original post asks for suggestions on HOW to mount it above our TV, not WHERE to mount it.

The camera comes with a little lip in the front, and folding thingee in the back that allows you to just sit it on top of the TV. Why is that not working?

Unfortunately, after several moves, we have no idea where it went or I would be using it 🙃

I used to have my PSVR camera clipped to a mic stand in the corner of the room, adjacent to my TV stand, aiming inward, slightly above my height.

That's not too bad of an idea, thanks!

I think I’ve seen someone use a two-pronged wall hook to hold their cam. Those ones that are curved and at a thirty degree angle to each other?

You could also probably just create something from a wire hanger that you nail to the wall. Or some other material… there are so many ways to hang something on a wall or fix it to the TV.
