How do you make it look like you are looking at the camera on zoom?
He suggests, as we have several times, to avoid sitting with your back to the window, as the camera will expose for the light and make you into a silhouette. Instead, flip it, and face the window, which will give you soft, people-pleasing light. You want people focusing on your face, not on what's behind you.
Why do I look so bad on video calls?
If the camera is in much lower than your eyes, it will make your body and face look much more prominent. Also, you'll have to look down to make eye contact, which brings a whole superiority/inferiority dynamic to the video call. Positioning the camera much higher can give you similar issues.
How do you look directly on a camera?
When talking directly into the camera I would recommend that you centre yourself in the frame and have your eyes placed exactly in the top third of the frame. This will draw the viewers eye towards you and help build the connection you are looking for. Frame your eyes on the top third line in the frame.
How do you make it look like you're not reading on Zoom?
If you're presenting to your Zoom audience, and you've got notes or perhaps a full script to read, you should position them on your screen right under your webcam to reduce the effect that you're reading. A physical page of notes taped under your webcam can work, but I'm not talking about an analog solution.
Can I record a video with a virtual background?
