Video Call Tips
Look and sound your best.
1. Light on your face
Sit facing a window or lamp. Light behind you makes you a shadow.
2. Camera at eye level
Stack books under your laptop. No more nose-cam angle.
3. Mute when not talking
Reduces background noise like dog barks or kettle whistles.
4. Tidy background
Plain wall is fine. Or use Zoom virtual backgrounds for fun.
5. Headphones
Reduces echo. Family hears you more clearly.
6. Test before
Open Zoom 5 minutes early. Test camera, mic, sound. Less stress.
Wear a solid color shirt. Stripes and patterns can blur on camera.
