Look Like a Pro, Not a Potato: Video Call Tricks That Actually Work
Inside: Camera confidence hacks, presence boosters, vetted remote job picks & more
Hi Freedom Seekers,
Let's talk about video calls.
You know, those virtual meetings where somehow everyone else looks polished and professional while you're wondering if your webcam is deliberately making you look like you haven't slept in three days? (I’m sure I’m not alone here…)
The truth is, most remote workers never actually see how they come across on camera.
We're just too busy focusing on everyone else to notice our own habits and appearance.
After gathering advice from broadcast professionals and just naturally camera-confident people, I've compiled some actionable tricks that go way beyond the usual "make eye contact" advice everyone's heard a thousand times…
These are the actual techniques that make a difference in how you're perceived in virtual meetings. No fluff, just what works.
