If your boss/manager/etc is excited about this feature as a way to monitor you, odds are they already have you under surveillance in a bunch of other ways. It's unfortunate that you are in this situation, and I hope you're able to find a way out of it soon (e.g. by switching teams or finding another company that values and trusts you more).
This feature is of limited use, though. With my laptop in my lap, it's trivial to hold my phone right in front of the lower half of my screen. It will be outside the field of view of the camera, but there will be no discernible difference between me looking at my laptop screen vs my phone screen.
I'm all for fighting against companies chipping away at our privacy, but this one seems pretty far down a rather large list.
