Your Zoom setup is your professional image in 2026. Here's how to look better than 90% of people.
Lighting (Biggest Impact)
Face a window (natural light in front of you). If no window, get a ring light ($15-30) placed behind your monitor. Never have a window BEHIND you (creates silhouette).
Audio
A $30 USB mic sounds dramatically better than laptop built-in. Position it 6-12 inches from your mouth. Close the door. Our noise reducer can clean up recordings after the fact.
Camera Position
Eye level (stack books under laptop if needed). Look at the camera lens, not the screen. Keep background clean or use a subtle blur.
