How do you do eye contact with the separate camera?

Even clipping a $100 Logitech to the top of a 15-inch laptop at my standing desk, and dragging the video window of the person to be right below it, it doesn't look like I'm looking at the other person/people when I am.

I don't like it, but it would be less bothersome if everyone knew it was only doing causing "eye contact" to be perceived when it was actually being made. (Such that only when person A's gaze is looking at a display of person B, will B perceive A as looking at them.)

There's also cameras behind displays.

As an immediate practical matter, for a Linux desktop setup running open source with ordinary display and camera, I'm still wondering.
