Look good on screen.
Unless you paid a lot of money for it and picked it out on purpose, there’s a good chance that the tiny, tiny (tiny) camera built into the top of your laptop monitor leaves something to be desired. To be fair, even a couple of years ago videoconferencing wasn’t really a thing that most people did. Remote work was uncommon and nobody would pay to watch people play video games or do weird foot stuff on camera, so you know…limited marketability for the whole thing.
But today? Today you should get a decent webcam.
For ten bucks, we’ll hook you up with plug-and-play HD quality that’ll make you look like you’re actually taking video conferencing seriously and not just overusing digital backgrounds because you think you’re working from home for three weeks in 2020.
If you need one, you need one.
