Even if you’ve found the perfect backdrop for your call, you may need to tweak the exact camera angle and positioning of your computer to make sure you’re showing off your best self. “You want to be sure the person on the other side is hearing your great ideas, and not distracted by poor lighting or odd angles,” says Heitmann. “Position your computer or camera so that it’s at eye level. I know it’s called a laptop, but it shouldn’t be in your lap for a video call, unless you want to give them a view of the inside of your nose. Prop it up with a stand or a few books and put it about an arm’s length away so you’re framed nicely in the middle of the screen.”
