How To Look Your Best On A Webcam Video Call

As the world continues to work from home and have video conferences, it’s important for you to look professional to the rest of your team.

You should first stick to one spot in your house during video calls instead of moving around.

The area should have adequate lighting, and preferably not near a window since the sunlight can be inconsistent.

Then, you’ll want to ensure your webcam is at an appropriate angle by propping it up on a box near eye level.

Finally, be sure to look presentable when you are working from home.

Key Takeaways:

  • As more people are video conferencing at home, it’s important to look professional and presentable during the call.
  • Camera angle is key to quality video calls and the webcam should be propped up on a box, preferably at eye level.
  • Try not to video conference in front of a window since the lighting is inconsistent and could make you look bad.

“Pick a place, create a look and set all your lighting up there. Then you can go back to it every time.”
