Unfortunately, there are two adults working from home and three teenagers completing schoolwork remotely. All of us have lots of video calls throughout the day, so it's more a matter of finding a room where you can go in and close the door and not interfere with someone else's video call than finding that ideal lighting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-look-good-on-zoom#post-2116772 Mon, 27 Apr 2020 15:19:14 +0000 Cardiff girl 2116772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t think anything apart from Shevia s tip is going to work for me!Dont feel as bad as I did when I overheard the beautious 16 year old complaining how terrible zoom makes everyone look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-look-good-on-zoom#post-2116763 Mon, 27 Apr 2020 14:35:00 +0000 Helena 2116763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One word: filters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-look-good-on-zoom#post-2116750 Mon, 27 Apr 2020 11:05:34 +0000 Staysfit 2116750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have found the following helps:<br />1. &nbsp;Wear solid color tops not prints<br />2. &nbsp;Not too much jewelry or anything too shiny<br />3. &nbsp;Bright lips look great<br />4. &nbsp;For the rest of my makeup, I use eyeliner, neutral shadow and minimum blush<div>5. &nbsp;Lighting needs to come from behind your camera and in front of you, not from behind. &nbsp;If the light is brighter behind you, your image will look dark and shadowy.<br />6. &nbsp;Elevate your camera do it is at eye level or slightly higher&nbsp;<br />7. &nbsp;Look at the camera not at yourself or the other people<br />8. &nbsp;Clean distracting items out of your background. &nbsp;</div><div>9. &nbsp;Do not wear green! &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-look-good-on-zoom#post-2116732 Mon, 27 Apr 2020 03:41:19 +0000 slim cat 2116732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Its a pretty outfit - I like white top on you and pants are fun color .<br />I think there are no strict rules now for mixing different metallics in the outfit - so you wear what you like and that's it.<br />I like how you put two necklaces together - the round pendant echos the shape of grommets.<br />Not experienced with ZOOM - however agree on brow and lips enhanced a bit in color - Face Time lessons &nbsp;. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-look-good-on-zoom#post-2116728 Mon, 27 Apr 2020 02:21:26 +0000 JAileen 2116728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I like Shevia’s idea! &nbsp;However,&nbsp;NYT said have the camera look down on you. &nbsp;I had a zoom meeting and I set up in the dining room. &nbsp;I piled up some books and put my ipad on it, and then had the light on so my face was lit up. &nbsp;I had had a zoom meeting in February and set up with outer space as my background. &nbsp;I didn’t know how to undo that, so I had outer space behind me.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-look-good-on-zoom#post-2116727 Mon, 27 Apr 2020 02:20:48 +0000 Gigi 2116727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I came across a really good video on this last night. It is from Dominique Sachse, who is (or used to be?) a TV anchor:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youtu.be/JhoFwGaVEEE">https://youtu.be/JhoFwGaVEEE</a></p> <p>One tip I hadn't seen anywhere else is to put some warm-spectrum lighting behind your device. This is to counteract the cool blue lighting that most devices have that can make you look not so good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-look-good-on-zoom#post-2116726 Mon, 27 Apr 2020 02:15:31 +0000 Jessikams 2116726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To my mind, the most important factors are position of camera and position of light source. Try to have both right on front of your face, directed at your eyes! Sometimes the easiest way to do this is to sit on the floor facing a window— with back leaning up against a bed, perhaps (bed will just look like fabric in background). Light from window will provide flattering illumination. Then you can put your laptop in a chair and pull it towards you, approx. face height. Keep notepad and water bottle on floor next to you. Easy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-look-good-on-zoom#post-2116725 Mon, 27 Apr 2020 02:15:31 +0000 Anonymous 2116725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Raising the screen and finding the most flattering light on your home are starter tips, "Look Good on Video Calls Zoom FaceTime Skype" by Audrey Coyne on YouTube pretty much covers everything </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-look-good-on-zoom#post-2116717 Mon, 27 Apr 2020 01:58:01 +0000 Jaime 2116717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My tip is to turn off the video of your own image.

They seem to help with the lighting issue and if they are in a flattering color it is even better. They also seem to distract from my crazy hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-look-good-on-zoom#post-2116710 Mon, 27 Apr 2020 00:43:10 +0000 MsMaven 2116710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mr. M was looking at some videos last night and stopped on one called How to Look Good on Zoom. I watched part of it, but was busy and didn't get the name. The most important part for me was how the lighting should be done. Even though my office has 2 windows, at this time of year my face looks dark and in shadow. And reflects the orange walls. I took the shade off my old desk top lamp--it's falling apart anyway. Looked much better. Today Mr. M fiddled with several lamps and finally found a good one that takes up smaller space. I'd like to experiment more.&nbsp;</p> <p>Other advice was to use a minimum of makeup--eyebrows and lips at least. I'll have to take some time to look for more, so if you have any good tips, I'd appreciate them. I noticed during class last week that my electric blue chair upholstery is intense and distracting. Today I tossed a white towel over it, but then my top didn't look good with it. I need to find a nice pleasant unobtrusive blanket or throw have as background.</p> <p>Wore the Chico's pants with the Paige top. Experimented with necklaces by trying the two necklaces and pendants together. Didn't work well, so I took the round one off. It has a tiny clasp that is difficult for my fingers, so once I put it on I leave it on for several days. Time for a change anyway.&nbsp;</p> <p>And I don't think either one goes with the metal on the neckline.</p> <p>A new day, a new experiment. </p>
