Face tracking - don't seems to track the next person in view ?

My setup : M100 + ef-m 22mm.

Was at a dinner last night and I put the M100 with face tracking / video recording on the table's glass turntable. My intention was to rotate the glass turntable a full round so the M100 will capture everyone.

I set the M100 to track my face initially - as I rotate the glass turntable to the next person, the face tracking box (of my face) left the screen, but when the next person's face was in full view, it doesn't seems to activate the face tracking box. When I rotate it back to my face, the face tracking box reappeared.

This seems to me the face tracking seems to registered only one face ? Even though my face had completely left the view, when another person's face appears.

I should have also tried the smooth zone AF, but didn't. I switched to manual AF, but wasn't focusing right to complete the recording and was slightly out of focus.
