Work environments across the world have definitely changed in the past two years when the pandemic started. People have now switched from office set up to a home.

And with remote work, people have relied on online meeting tools such as Zoom to conduct their meetings.

But one of the common mistakes people do is that they don’t take the time to make themselves look good or presentable over Zoom meetings. Wearing casual home attire is okay but can make you look lazy and unprepared over Zoom.

As a professional, you must look always ready for business.

Here are 5 ways you can do to look chic and always amazing on Zoom:

Wear a pop of color
One of the hacks to make you have a presence on a video call is to wear a pop of color. This will instantly lift your vibe on the camera. If you happen to wear neutral color make sure you put make-up on or wear bold lip color.

Make a statement
One of the tricks to make people focus on your face and on what you’re saying is to wear a statement necklace or earrings. And just like wearing a pop of color, wearing a statement necklace or earrings instantly lift your presence over video calls.

Elevate your camera
Positioning your camera well can make a huge impact on how you present yourself over Zoom. Placing your camera a little elevated will make you look slimmer and more engaged as well. Looking down on camera will make you look uneasy and can make your face appear larger.

Get some good lighting
Just like taking the perfect selfies, you also need good lighting to instantly look good over Zoom. If your Zoom meeting is during the day and it’s sunny and bright outside, do your Zoom in front of a window. If it’s during the night, then you have to make sure that you turn your lights, and would be better to have extra lighting like ring lights.

Smile and be ready
And lastly, smile. You’ll never go wrong with a beautiful smile and confidence. So, make sure that you prepare yourself at least 10 minutes before you hop into your Zoom meetings.

The next time you hop on a Zoom meeting, follow these tips to wow your clients and colleagues. Remember, that as a professional, you must always look ready for business even on Zoom.
