Flattering Zoom Calls: Simple Camera Angle Tricks

I guess I never really thought of any of those things. I think when I'm speaking, I lean in there. There are definitely some times when I'm listening, I'll, like, lean back, but my camera's not high enough for anybody to see my belly. So. And that's. That's by design. But, like, everything that you're saying is. So it's making me think, like, I want to go back and look at, like, a few of my podcasts and be like, okay, how is my body language? Like, how am I, you know, am I leaning in?

I mean, the other big thing that gets people in trouble is they think, oh, zoom always looks bad. Zoom. There's nothing to do with zoom. You can have a $200,000 camera if it's 18 inches below your nose and looking up your nose, it's going to be unflattering. So that's the problem so many people have, is they've. They're talking to their laptop. Their laptop is on a table. It's aimed upwards. I mean, you never go to a wedding and see the wedding photographer, hey, let me get on the ground and shoot up your noses. No, the wedding photographer's up on the line, right? Because it's a more flattering angle. Makes the jawline stronger. So I have a very sophisticated technological fix for people. It's very expensive, but I know all of your viewers are successful and have plenty of money. It's called get a stack of books. Just get a stack of books and put your laptop on top of it. You want the camera, your webcam, to be an inch or two above your eyes, and that creates a much more flattering look. Pl. Plus, notice how you're not staring at the lights on my ceiling. Now, it's because the camera is not pointed at the ceiling. So anytime you can see the ceiling, it means your camera angle is all off. It's much more flattering to be an inch or two above. I also recommend. Now I'm a little too high. I also recommend that the top of your head almost touching the top of the screen. This way you can see your hands, your body.
