- Elevate Your View:
- Opt for a PC/laptop to sidestep awkward angles and distractions.
- Eye-Catching Camera Placement:
- Ensure your camera is at eye level for a polished and professional appearance.
- Eye Contact Matters:
- Look directly at the camera, fostering genuine eye contact rather than getting lost on the screen.
- Backdrop Brilliance:
- Transform your background into a canvas of professionalism – choose a plain or branded backdrop.
- Background Beware:
- Exercise caution with computer-generated backgrounds; stability and appropriateness are key.
- Dress the Part:
- Your attire matters, even in the virtual realm. Dress professionally for impactful first impressions.
- Name Clarity:
- Change your screen name to your full name and business for crystal-clear identification.

- Chat Charm:
- Simplify chat management by copying and pasting messages into a Word document for a polished record.
