Ever been on a video call, and the other person looks and sounds AWFUL
Ever been on a video call, and the other person looks and sounds AWFUL?
Perhaps they’re staring down at a laptop webcam (never a great angle). And they’re badly lit so look like a criminal. And have a cheap microphone which makes them sound like they’re on a bad phone call?
Video calls are here to stay. If there’s any risk your team are video calling like this, it’s time to give them an upgrade.
Have you noticed how hybrid and remote workers fall into one of two categories when it comes to video calling?
The first group are those who use the built-in webcam on their laptop. They usually look like they’re sitting in a dark room, and their background is full of distractions.
The second group are more particular. They look well-lit, their image is sharp and you can hear them really clearly.
This second group are the ones who take video calls seriously because they know great communication takes a little work. They’ve invested in the right gear to make them look and sound great on every call.
Since it looks like the video call is here to stay, this is a great time to upgrade your setup so you belong to the second group.
Wherever you’re working from – home or the workplace – a small investment into your video call setup will give you a more professional edge.
