Zoom has a lot of interesting options when it comes to backgrounds. So practice with loved ones until you can strike the right balance between looking at the camera (you don’t want to get into a dead stare looking into the camera) and watching the live image of your counterpart. If you’re always looking at the camera, you won’t have a good awareness of their body language and reactions. The final trick to this is that their live video image is not where the camera is. When you direct your eyes this way, the person you’re talking to knows that you aren’t distracted by web browsing or anything else. Then you can make eye contact with that (instead of a green light) and also feel like you’re looking at the person you’re talking to. If that also feels funny, put a smiley-face Post-it note or a small photo of someone you love right near the camera. So instead of looking at the image of yourself, I recommend that you look at the camera. This can be really unsettling and even unhealthy. BUT, now comes the inevitable Zoom predicament: Where should you look? The worst thing about this whole new video-chat world that we live in is that you’re constantly looking at video images of yourself.
