If you’re like many people, you’ve got a work set-up on your desk that rivals a space shuttle launch. Laptops, keyboards, trackpads, second and third screens all vie for space and for your attention.
Quick tip: if your videoconference opens on a screen other than the one where your camera is, you need to move it. It’s unnerving to be on a call with someone who is looking away from the camera all the time, even if you know they’re “looking at you” on their other screen.
Eye contact is impossible to replicate on video calls, so it’s important that we do what we can to close the gap.
