Just got a 2024 Apple M4 and downloaded the newest Zoom app... I cannot for the life of me stop this camera from auto focusing and moving with me. All the help documents tell to do things that don't exist in Zoom Workplace!!!  It's so annoying and every time I move a hand the camera zooms in and out, I want it to go back to solid!

yes! It's not Zoom- it's Apple... you have to login into Facetime and then click on the Green top bar icon till you see Center Stage and unclick that... totally worked and saving my life

How to Turn Off "Centre Stage" on FaceTime (Mac)

  1. Look at the very top right of your Mac screen. You’ll see a small magnifying glass icon. Click on it. (This is called Spotlight Search.)
  2. A search bar will appear. Type "FaceTime" and press Enter to open the app.
  3. Once FaceTime is open, look again at the top right of your screen. You’ll see a green camera icon (near where you found the magnifying glass earlier). Click on it.
  4. A menu will appear. Look for "Centre Stage" and unselect it (click to turn it off).

✅ All done! 😊

I was hoping the existing posts on this would help me turn that same darn thing off.  But they didn't.  Then I asked ChatGPT and learned a way that did work.  There is a carrot next to the word VIDEO on the Zoom task bar. Click it and look for: "Auto-frame my video."  Uncheck that. That's it.  It stops.
