Using Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and other video meeting software can be tricky. The mic, video, chat, breakout rooms, waiting room, mute button and the wealth of options available, make it difficult to keep track of everything.
Technology often stops working at the most inopportune times. Properly preparing for your next Zoom meeting will ensure your call runs smoothly and looks great.
Finding a spot that is just right will help you not only look better on the Zoom camera, but feel more comfortable while speaking.
Make sure that you are the highlighted subject in the video. A ring light can help with this as it focuses the light on your face.
BAD EXAMPLES:
The examples below have a distracting background, too much head space, a vertical shot, or a low angle. Also note how in the first example the background is a lot brighter than what she is.
GOOD EXAMPLE:
This example shows the model directly facing the lens with little headspace, decent lighting that illuminates her face, and a simple background.
We hope that these Zoom recording tips and tricks will help you get the best video possible. While technology is tricky, following these best practices and tips will make your video easier to manage.
