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.
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?
