Set Up Your Space Like a Pro

What to do

• 1

  Camera at eye level. Stack books under the laptop until the lens meets your eyes.

• 2

  Light in front, not behind. A window behind you turns you into a silhouette.

• 3

  Headphones, always. Laptop speakers feed their voice back into your mic and cause echo.

• 4

  Clean, neutral background. A tidy wall beats a styled set.

• 5

  Close everything else. Tabs shut, notifications silenced — treat it like a physical room.

• 6

  Dry run 30 minutes out. Audio, camera, and the meeting link itself.
