Look and sound right on video calls
-
Light your face from the front.
Face a window or a lamp. A window behind you turns you into a silhouette.
-
Camera at eye level.
Laptop on a stack of books. The up-the-nose angle is one book away from fixed.
-
Wired or headset audio.
Sound matters more than picture. Laptop mics gather the room; a headset gathers you.
-
Frame head and shoulders.
Eyes in the top third, a little headroom. Not a forehead, not a distant bust.
-
Look at the lens when it matters.
For key sentences, look into the camera dot. That is where eye contact lives.

No gear needed. Your pot, a timer and ice are enough. That is the point.
