Webcam

We purchased a web cam 6 months ago and have had no one use it to get in touch, that is until the morning of Christmas Eve I think everyone of my relatives that have a web cam fitted to their computers, got in touch with me, this is from England and the United States simultaneously. Have you noticed, when talking to people with web cams, the person on the other end will never look in to the camera, they are too busy looking at you on the monitor, sometimes the camera can be as much as 45 deg to the monitor. I have tried positioning ours in various places, I think now apart from putting it right in the middle of the monitor I have mine in the right place, you just have to watch to see if the eyes flick from one side to the other, has anyone found a perfect place for theirs.
