# LookAtCameraAction

An action that reorients an object to face the user’s camera.

## Discussion

By default, the [duration](/documentation/USD/duration) specifies the amount of time the prim looks at the camera. To look at the camera indefinitely, place this action in a `GroupAction` that repeats infinitely.

### Declaration
