If your webcam didn’t come with customization software, you can use OBS to reframe it

The image shows a close-up view of a small, square webcam attached to the top of a computer monitor. The webcam is white with a black circular lens. The monitor displays a blurry image in the background; it seems to be an abstract landscape of orange and brown hues, possibly a digital painting or a photograph of a desert-like environment. The foreground is dominated by the webcam and the top edge of the monitor, which is dark gray or black.

OBS is free and open source software that will provide various filters and effects you can apply to an input such as a webcam. It will generate an output stream which any app will think is a webcam.

In this way you can apply custom masks, overlays, zoom in, add a title, change colours, change scenes between multiple cameras, or share your screen, change the background, and lots more.
