Where do you put your webcam?
The webcam needs to be placed in front of you, and near the same height as your face while sitting. The best location to mount the webcam is at the top of your computer monitor. Most webcams sit on top of a monitor, having an adjustable clamp that braces itself against the back of the monitor to secure the webcam.
How far away should you sit from a webcam?
You will want to keep a good distance from your webcam (somewhere around 2 ft looks best on most webcams). Too close, and your face will look huge and be distorted (generally causing “bignose”). Too far away from the camera and you will appear tiny and will be difficult for your viewers to see and to hear.
How can I look better in zoom?
How to look good on Zoom: 6 tips and tricks

- Angle your laptop just right.
- Use a ring light or webcam.
What height should webcam be?
Keep your webcam slightly above your eye level: Assuming you have your monitor set up ergonomically—with your gaze falling about 2 inches below the top edge of the screen—this means you’ll be looking straight ahead at people on the call, which feels more like an in-person meeting.
Do you look at camera or screen on Zoom?
Test your video and audio before your meeting at zoom.us/test. Look at the camera. This takes a bit of getting used to since you want to look at the other participants faces (and, let’s be honest, your own face), but try to look at the camera when you’re talking.
How much is a webcam cost?
Webcam costs vary depending on build quality, image resolution, frame rate, and microphone quality. You can get a bargain basement webcam for as little as $10, but it’s not going to offer great image or audio quality. Most decent webcams cost between $30 – $100, with premium 4K models going up to around $200.
