ADVICE

Camera Placement for Video Calls

  • Improve your video presence by ensuring your camera is positioned correctly, avoiding the "side-of-face" view.
  • Bring the video call window closer to your camera, or use an iPad as a second monitor placed beneath the camera lens.
ADVICE

Managing Notifications

  • Minimize distractions during presentations by enabling Do Not Disturb mode.
  • Use apps like Serenity or NoNotify to manage notifications on a per-app basis.
ADVICE

Lighting Tips for Video

  • Improve video quality with diffused lighting, avoiding direct light or ring lights if you wear glasses.
  • Consider overhead lighting or an LED panel, starting with affordable options before investing heavily.
