This is basically just a teleprompter in reverse. If you’re okay with spending slightly more $$, just buy one of those instead:

The GlideGear iPad teleprompter is under $200 and saves a lot of time if you’re pressed for time:

The setup is to use an iPad hosting Sidecar wireless display from your Mac. Use Moom or similar screen management app that detects kicking on the new display, and pops your meeting video windows onto it at full dimensions (but not ‘full screen’ mode).
If the other person is both on video and sometimes sharing content, you need to flip the video horizontally, which isn’t obvious. There are three options:
1. Check if your display can flip the video.
2. Use SwitchResX if your graphics card can do it for that particular monitor:

If it can, great. If it cannot, then ...
3. Use the Flip Mac Window utility from here, so you’ll see it the right way around in the mirror:

How this works is it screen captures the original window, and plays it back flipped over top of the window. That means actual buttons / icons are not moved, only the rendering of the window is flipped. If you need to navigate the window, unflip it first.
Note that 12.9” iPads only fit in this GlideGear if you re-shape the mirror brace, but the mirror is large enough for a 12.9” iPad and it looks fantastic.
I like coupling this with Logitech Brio (best) or Logitech Streamcam (good).
I‘ve used it extensively with WebEx, Zoom, and Teams.
