How to Look More Professional on Camera
5 EASY WAYS TO LOOK BETTER ON CAMERA Use These Tips From Our Livestream Pro!
The pandemic may be officially “over,” but video calls are here to stay — and unfortunately, no one will give you grace for bad lighting or a messy background in 2023! To impress your team, peers, and clients, you need to look as professional live on Zoom or Google Meets as you would in the real-life boardroom. Here are a few strategies from Eventique’s Livestream Director, Marty Jenoff, to make that happen. 1. Ditch your swivel chair. “Most people tend to swivel and rock when they’re nervous, so always sit in a stationary chair for your Zoom calls [to avoid causing distractions],” Marty says. If your expensive office chair swivels, lock the mechanism before meetings or keep a stationary chair in your office to swap in when you need it. 2. Position your webcam at eye level. “You don’t want people to be looking
down at you or looking up your nose and seeing your cracked ceiling,” Marty says. “If you’re using a laptop, put it on top of some books or a box.” 3. Invest in a microphone or earbuds. Sometimes it’s impossible to keep your office space silent. If an ambulance goes by or your dog starts barking, a microphone or earbuds will reduce the background noise and ensure your voice still carries. “Make sure your mic is a few inches from your mouth rather than 1–2 feet away,” Marty says. Windows appear extremely bright on camera, and if they’re behind you, they’ll become the focus of your shot and make your face look dark. “Rather than using a window as your background (as beautiful as it may be), pivot to face the window and use 4.

that light to make your face bright and visible,” Marty recommends. 5. Declutter your background. Clear your backdrop of clutter, and if you have shelves behind you, remove items so they don’t look too busy. A bookcase stuffed with trinkets could distract from your on-call message. If you use Marty’s tips, your next Zoom call will be TV-worthy.
