Quite cool although:

1.) I find if you put the video conference window top and center of a monitor--preferably a larger one--it works pretty well so long as you make at effort to keep your eyes towards the top of the screen. This is especially important (and takes some discipline) if you're presenting from slides.

2.) The general recommendation, which is my experience as well, is that the webcam should be up at eye level or maybe a bit above. So if you are using a laptop, it should be up on some books or other type of stand.
