Video Call<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Video chats over Zoom, Google Hangouts, FaceTime, Skype, and other platforms have grown commonplace as the nation follows shelter-in-place and stay-at-home orders from their local governments in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, you may find yourself making more appearances over video to stay connected to your clients and peers.<\/p>\n

In a recent article at The New York Times<\/em>, design professionals weigh in on how to create a professional image over a webcam. Here are three of their recommendations.<\/p>\n

1. Keep a neutral backdrop.<\/strong> For example, a console table with a lamp and a couple of books lying on it could suffice, or try just a vase of flowers in the background. \u201cFind a place in the home that has the most neutral wall background,\u201d Lauren Rottet, an interior<\/a> designer with offices in Houston, Los Angeles, and New York, told The New York Times<\/em>. She recommends planting yourself in front of a wall in light gray, light blue, off-white, darker blue, or beige. But try to avoid orange, yellow, or red walls, as well as any patterns behind you, she suggests.<\/p>\n

2. Watch your acoustics.<\/strong> Choose a room with carpeting and window treatments, which can help absorb sound better than a room with hardwoods or tile. Those harder flooring options can cause your voice and conversations to echo.<\/p>\n

3. Find your best light.<\/strong> Don\u2019t sit directly under a light source, as they tend to cast unflattering shadows on your face. Instead, position yourself about two feet opposite a lamp or window, Rottet told The New York Times<\/em>. Don\u2019t let that light source be seen on the camera, but have it in front of you or beside you, Rottet suggests. If you wanted to invest<\/a> in lighting, consider a ring light or similar LED lamps for your computer or phone.<\/p>\n
