For a video mediation conference or any video meeting you want to look your best. Here are some pointers. First, do the obvious: comb your hair, apply makeup, shave, trim your beard and nose hair. Put bright even lighting on your face. Have the camera at your eye level, but don’t sit too close to it. (For those no longer enjoying the bloom of youth the Zoom.us video app offers a setting to soften focus on your face.) There are also things to avoid: shirts or blouses that are bright white or dark black; a distracting background; being back lit – don’t sit with your back to a window. So when appearing on video, look your best to perform at your best.
