Hello!
In Cisco Webex Meetings the camera shows all my room which is not a good thing, as I share it with my roommates who don't want to be seen. How can I make my video field narrower, so it will show just me? I sit 50 cm from the webcam, which is normal distance from the monitor, and my face is just about 1/5 of the width of the vide field, and it is really annoying. My colleges at work see all of the room which really disturbs me and others. I am using a USB webcam connected to my desktop PC.
Will appreciate any help!

since I have not yet seen any such settings in Webex, you may want to check the options of your Webcam.
In my case (Logitech C920) I use a tool called "Logitech Capture": It takes the video from the camera, applies some visual effects (optional; e.g. color-fx, sharpening, softening, white-balance, resolution, aspect ratio...) and forwards the processed video as a virtual webcam to Webex.
I don´t know if this tool also works with non-logitech cams but there are several virtual webcam-tools out there.
example: Cisco mentions this in its Webex-AppHub: Manycam | Cisco Webex App Hub

I believe this is a setting on your camera. Check the documentation for your camera to see if you can change the field of view. Otherwise I recommend using a virtual background so that only your face and upper torso will show in the meeting video.
