Avoid These Video Angles on Your Next Zoom Call

Believe it or not, our video setups are one of the most important factors we have in our virtual workplaces to create a professional, competent, and personable first impression with colleagues, customers, and recruiters.

?? Tip of the Day

Avoid being a floating head, and make sure your camera is at eye level so your viewer isn’t looking up your nose and chin or looking down on you. Put 3-4 fingers above your head to determine how much space should be between your head and the top of the camera frame, and make the necessary adjustments.

If you update your video framing after reading this email, upload a picture of your new and improved setup n in a comment below and I'll share some feedback.

Thanks for reading!
