Abstract
An arrangement and a method of a videoconferencing end-point provide for eye contact between users at different sites. A conference camera is placed in the light beam of a projector apparatus without degrading the camera-captured view by the projector light. This is provided by generating a black spot in the light beam covering the camera lens, and by adjusting the position and/or size of the black spot according to a camera position detector, which may be the camera itself or one or more light sensors around and close to the camera lens.
