I already decided not to use that background as it does get a
bit shapeshifty. Seb was very well set up. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Glad we’re getting started with our
meetings. I think we’re off to a strong start so thank you for
everyone involved. I noticed a couple of things that I thought
I would mention to improve your camera feed on Zoom.<u></u><u></u></p>

<ol style="margin-top:0in" type="1" start="1">
<li style="margin-left:0in"><b>Align
your camera.</b><br>
Often people are using the camera on their laptop to
broadcast themselves but when you do this, you need to be
careful. The best angle for the laptop screen for reading
might NOT be the best angle for you on camera. Often, when
the lid is too far back, you will be too low on camera.
Something to check. You can go into Video Settings on Zoom
to see how you look on camera.<u></u><u></u></li>
<li style="margin-left:0in"><b>Use a
Green Screen</b><br>
While clever, the virtual background feature of Zoom is not
very good and can be quite distracting when people are
seeing parts of you disappear and reappear on camera. IF
you have a green screen, the virtual backgrounds will look
MUCH better! If you do not have a green screen, I my strong
recommendation is not to use a virtual background. I never
thought I would write these words but follow Sébastien’s
example! He has simply created a nice space in his office,
cleaned it up a bit, put up a sign, made it bright and it
looks MUCH better than disappearing and reappearing.<br>

<br>
If you really MUST use the virtual background feature,
remember that it is using the difference in depth in your
scene to determine what to include and not include. If
possible, sit with a plain wall behind you, without a lot of
extra stuff to confuse the camera and try to stay fairly
still, so you remain the same distance to the camera.<u></u><u></u></li>
</ol>
<p><u></u> <u></u></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" type="1" start="3">
<li style="margin-left:0in"><b>Face the
light.</b><br>
You’ll notice also in Sébastien’s example that he has a nice
soft light on his face. When you have the brighter light
behind you, you become a silhouette. Try to face a northern
window or turn a light on in front of you, perhaps directing
it at the wall in front of you if you’re facing a wall.
Ideally, the brightest source of light in you scene is in
front of you and bigger than your head.
