- How to look good on zoom with your computer webcam. In this video I'll go over the best angles for your computer and the best lighting so that you can look good in zoom, google hangouts, and facetime using your computer.
How to look better on video is a question I'm asked a lot because the right lighting and most flattering angles can be tough to understand. But in this video I wanted to make it simple and easy to find the best light even at night, and the best angles for your beautiful face.

I learned so much from this video. Thanks to Gia, I made a few quick fixes, like angling my computer screen and adjusting the little clip on light i'd bought some weeks ago. I feel so much more confident. Thank you, Gia!

Tried your tricks and first thing they asked me on the call was “ Did you change something?? You look different “. Thank you for the tips

Love your smile and energy ❣️
Why didn’t I watch this a year ago!? I love your passion for wanting to educate us!

From a former corporate trainer, FABULOUS work!!! LOVED how you get right to the point and give such detailed yet simple instructions and directions and then do a quick review. BRAVO! And, thank you!
I'm so glad about this video! The part of "you are perfect just the way you are" was the icing on the cake
She’s so kind and she explains every think step by step! I like her

What I love most about this video is that you mention all these tips are for YOU (the user) to feel more comfortable and confident. Not whoever is on Zoom with you. That you're beautiful the way you are, but if you want to change things up to feel better, go for it. And if anyone is judging, they're a d*#k. That was awesome. Thank you!
Oh I'm so glad it resonated with ou Cilla! It's so true though. We spend so much time thinking about what others think that we forget to ask ourselves more about it. It's a daily meditation but one I think is so worth doing. I strive to one day be totally free from caring about other's opinions and whether or not that will actually happen, I think it's a worth-while pursuit. ✨
@@Gia.Goodrich I came here just to post this exactly comment. Loved your video, your tips and your enthusiasm. Thank you very much!!
I'm three years late to the Gia party - so happy I found you! Thank you for the hot tips!
A year into COVID/zoom calls and I'm just seeing this but SO helpful. I've really struggled with proper lighting but your tips clear up all the mystery. Thank you!
You helped this old gal a lot. I was embarrassed every time one of my grandchildren wanted to talk with me on zoom. I will work on my look in front of a camera. Thank you so much!
You’re beautiful Jane!!
@@itskeza Not always, but I try not to scare the kids! hehe!
@@Janepint jajajaa this comment made my day
My face looks grainy
Gia is so nice around a sensitive subject that makes you feel vulnerable. I love how she explains the "raking" concept of light and how to avoid it. Thanks for helping camera shy people like me!
You are so welcome! And I'm so grateful it was helpful. I know, we can be so hard on ourselves. But I love how dialing in a couple of easy things can make a big difference :)
She is the best in give you tips
It's so true! She's the type of person I want to go shopping with -- she'd tell me when something made me look fat, but in a way that I'd end up looking and feeling great, rather than curling up on the couch with Netflix and Ben & Jerry's.
I thought she looked the most beautiful with raking... i know people are people. I hate fake aesthetic generalizations. I appreciated the individuality i saw while raking.
I”m so grateful for your advice, I’ve looked ’blue’ in my zoom sessions during the passed two years, your simple tips make all the difference. Now I can zoom with much more confidence. Nina
You've left this subject FAR better than you found it. So much grace for you! Thank you, GIA!!
Gia is such a delight and so adorbs! I'm a pro-photographer, as well. Gia really knows her stuff and is a really concise, fun teacher. And so beautiful.
Gia, you have SUCH a warm, lively, kind personality! Thank you so much for sharing all these tips! :) Shu
Thank you so much for this! As a therapist doing a huge amount of work on Zoom these days, this was really helpful. heart!
Thanks, Gia, for a really helpful and simple quick fix to my Zoom woes. I've been meaning to get on top of this for ages. I've implemented everything you recommended and can't believe the difference. You're a lovely, confident and warm person - thank you for sharing your expertise.
You know, I have to teach on Zoom and I'm kinda' camera insecure. Thank you for the practical, easy to understand tips that actually work, and your kind, I-got-your-back, self.
Wow! I have watched several other people share camera, lighting, and background tips for creating marketing videos. This video covered SO MUCH MORE in less time. Yes, it was more specific to Zoom, but that's my preferred platform so PERFECT!. Thanks, Gia! I will experiment with these especially since I have had my large window wide open for all my Zoom meetings. I will try lowering the blinds (no curtains available). FYI, in March 2021, I found a ring light with no problems! I am watching this video nearly ONE YEAR after it was created
Very helpful, quick self-help tips that are simple and don't require loads of gadgets. Gia's personality comes through without being over-the-top or gimmicky. I've previously sat through similar videos which took a lot longer and without as much relevant info - this is really good, thank you!
I found this video because it was actually a part of our homework assignment to follow along and use these tips for our interviewing class!
This lady helped me ACE my interview. Thank you Gia!
Congrats! Im berry nervous for my job interview, i would do so better if it was physical, but no worries :)
such great advice and I could use those tips without having to buy anything! Thanks, Gia. Love your energy, love your positive attitude, love that you're helping us love to look at ourselves.
THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THE BACKGROUND…can’t believe how many people on Zoom-and even novice youtubers-don’t seem to notice this!
I appreciate all the tips, and especially raising the computer, angling the screen, and easy ways to add light. Thank you, Gia.
“You’re perfect just the way you are.” Powerful!
yes, I think we all be empowered
@@alexandragriseltellovalenz1029 That We Are!
Makeup / no makeup you're freaking adorable...and knowledgeable. Really nice content.
Truth
I have watched several videos over the last 18 months+ that had tips for looking better on Zoom. Your videos, however, are the most personable and real. I remember your tips over any others because of this! Thank you for your caring and knowledgeable presence! ❤️
Thank you Gia! You are so positive and I felt so uplifted by your genuineness and encouragement.
I'm going to recommend this to everyone at my workplace, great info!
The pillow behind my back, mind-blowing! Thank you.
Highly recommend this video. I was asked to speak at a forum via zoom. Used these tips. Confidence went way up. And I NAILED it.
It does help me feel more confident. I hate talking on the phone, much less video conferencing. Your tips make it somehow seem less overwhelming. Thanks!
The tips on lighting were incredibly helpful! I feel much more confident now in online meetings and I'm not constantly worrying about appearances. Thank you, Gia!
This is so good Gia!!! I love you! I love seeing lots of little yous on the screen at once! SKILLS. You have them. Thank you!
OMG hi I miss you! Thanks so much. Yeah it’s crazy I had a video blow up this weekend and it feels like a whole new world. I’m so grateful. We need a one on one soon!
Great tips - I found that the ones making the greatest impact are audio, lighting, the angle of the camera to one's face and looking into the lens when speaking. Brilliant explanation.
I have avoided being on camera or the subject of photos forever, even avoiding looking in the mirror. That was BG - Before Gia.
I volunteered to present at a zoom workshop and committed to use my video.
I did as you taught, even (gasp) put on some mascara and lip goop, got out my props for the presentation and let it fly! I completely ignored myself on the screen, but myself in frame and had a great time. I even used Camo Studio for webcam! And wore glasses without glare! A trifecta of success!
Someone commented afterward that my presentation would make a killer RUclips video. Now if I can just get over the mirror thing...
Thanks, Gia!
I love your attitude and delivery. You did such a great job and PACKED this video with helpful information, and no annoying "fluff". Thank you for sharing your expertise, Gia!

I am an “old girl” and I thank you for teaching me some “new tricks.”
You’re not “old,”
You’re perfectly seasoned 😊
Thank you very much for making this video. I didn't need Zoom for quarantine... I need it now in 2023 because I'm looking for new employment and I am not receiving email from potential employers, I'm getting texts advising that my application has been selected in their short picks and they want to set up a Zoom interview.
All I can to think is YIKES!!!! 😬. This video has helped immensely! I opened it up and did NOT like what I saw!!! I'm not much for being in front of a camera and realized that I need some makeup (which I haven't really needed for the past 13 years because of the type of work I currently do).
You helped me to figure out where to place myself in the room and adjust lighting - and to make sure that there are no distractions behind me.
Thank you and God Bless you!!!
This video is exactly what I was looking for. Short, to the point, packed with practical information. Thanks so much!
Genuinely kind and very helpful! I'd love some special tips for those of us in our 80s and above (yes, we do Zoom!).
Very helpful information 👍
That's so great :D
Thank you so much for this: very generous of you. I've started turning off "self-view" because I can't stand the look of my own face any longer! I've also noticed I'm often distracted by all the visual, background, "noise" in peoples' images.
Just the ideal information I was so long seeking. very informative and useful tips. I took notes and will apply these strategies to improve my virtual training sessions with my client. Great job Gia. Thanks so much for making me feel more at ease and confident while on virtual.
Great technical explanations and practical recommendations! Quick, happy, energetic pace.
Thanks! Yes I fee like having ADHD helps keep the videos from being too meandering or else I’d get bored. 🤣
Thank you, Gia! I love the practical tips you gave - and how you explained WHY and HOW they work!
I love you, Gia. You are a natural educator; I'm a complete technophobe and you make it fun and easy to understand the topic. You are incredibly engaging and you're the first Tuber who's been authentic enough to explain why subscribing matters, including financial repercussions. Such a refreshing, genuine, lovely person with such a gorgeous smile. I'm a huge fan (and new subscriber, Yay!). Love from Vancouver Canada.
Got my first teams interview next week as I was made redundant after 20 years service. This has helped boost my confidence so much as never thought I would ever be having an interview let alone one on camera!
Thank you so much! Such great, easy, attainable adjustments!
OmG! You literally changed my life with this video. I really appreciate you taking the time to make it. I've been so frustrated trying to do interviews via zoom. this was so great. I wish I had've fond this months ago when I was making my zoom rounds frequently. However (comma) these tips will definitely go used in the future.
Gia, You are an amazing teacher. You've given me so many tips. And...
I love your energy!
Thank you for all these tips! I somehow accomplished these by accident with height, distance, leaning forward, window, etc. when I moved to a room upstairs to plug Ethernet cord because of bad WiFi and couldn’t believe the difference in how I looked on camera compared to my situation downstairs. I love hearing tips from photographers. These tips are so helpful.
Thank you for the advice - have an interview tomorrow and am super anxious as a lot is riding on it - this has boosted my knowledge and confidence a little.
This is the professional development that I needed.
So much is in the details, huh? Thank you Gia!
Thanks Gia. Massive upgrade to my video presence in under 11 minutes. Love it!!!
"No one is judging you. And if they do, they're a BEEEEEP." :D Perfect. Thank you! Just subscribed.
Yes! Thank you for this video. I've been prepping for my exhibition meetings and this video was right on time.
Wonderful, Gia! You are smart and articulate and a great teacher. Thank you!
Yessss!! That's it!! I'm going to find a laptop raiser/extender and do this. Love it. I also learned that you can actually pick your background... mountains, ocean, outer space, library, whatever. I want to do that too. Me in any situation, it's still a clean background frame. It is a little crazy, but hey! Thank you again, Gia. Lots of peace, love and light coming your way!!
Gia, you are a complete doll! And so smart. You deserve your many devotées!
Gia, this was a simple and fun lesson that has helped me immensely! Thank you so much! Your winning personality really shines through as well. By the end of the video, I felt as if we've been friends for ages. Subscribed!

I learned SO much! Now, I might actually turn my camera on when teaching LOL. You're fantastic, Gia! Keep up the good work! (PS: You are quite a beauty, and you have a terrific smile. I found myself smiling at the screen in response, so thanks for that, too!)
This video was so helpful in explaining to clients about how to look great on camera - I always recommend it. Thank you Gia!
You have helped a "mature" teacher not look so ancient to her students:)
hahaha
Lolllll
haha!! I teach too...an elementary student told me I look " older" yesterday than the day before...gotta love those kids, huh?
The reason I’m on here! Zoom isn’t a friend to 55+ y o!!
So true!!!!! LOL
I was just listening to a ministry message on loving yourself, unconditionally, and not picking yourself apart..seemingly opposite from this and almost didnt watch, but did mostly out of curiosity and bc Im working through health issues right now, including weight, and it helps me when i feel confident on Zoom to articulate what I feel the Lord wants me to convey.
All this to say I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE that 2 min into this video, you came on SANS glamour and edited. love.love.love.
I saw your video when scrolling for ways to improve zoom sound quality and came back to watch. Everything about your video makes perfect sense -- it's a pleasure to watch and think think along with you. I'll subscribe and follow all of your suggestions. Thank you !!!
Where have you been , I needed you since the invention of the camera on a phone. So glad I found you
Wow! Gia! Thanks for all the great tips! I've been binge watching videos with tips for looking great on conference calls and your video was the most content-rich! Thanks for sharing your gifts and wisdom with all of us!
Thank you so much for this! Your personality is so inviting I feel so comfortable here!
Love the fact that you are so frank, so basic and so optimal! Helped me a lot thanks so so much!
Thank you very much. And you have an authentic and warm presence. Big virtual hugs.

Hi Gia, asalways you deliver super handy tutorials! You have just pinpointed the most important issues we face daily while meeting workmates online! Thanks!
Thank you! I feel way more confident and prepared to do my first talking head video! Super easy actionable advice. I was practically pulling my hair out until i realized my lamp was raking yellow light across my face
Gia - this was amazing! Thank you for your very clear and practical explanations!
Thank you so much!!! Especially with the lighting one of my biggest challenges!
Oh yay! Yes it’s something that we’re not really taught. But I think once we start thinking that was it becomes way easier to find places for videos and photos that help us shine!
Spectacular. It was the first video that came up when I asked about how to look less washed out on Zoom and I don't need to go anywhere else. I got all the info I need right here. Thank you!
Great info. I love the tips about putting your light source facing you, aim the camera a bit forward and lean into the frame a bit. I never knew that. Thank you for helping us to look our best on zoom! Your awesome!! 😋👍🥰
Learned a lot of great tips! Definitely worth the entire watch. Thank you, Gia!
Hi Gia, I'm a computer tutor at TECH933 in Montreal, and yes I will be sharing this excellent video with people learning Zoom and other video based meeting apps.
You really know your stuff! I'm a teacher and I need to teach everyday on Zoom!
Wow, thanks! Tomorrow I'm filming a video especially for teachers on zoom! I there anything in particular you have questions about or would like help with that I can add to it?
Just do your thing! I'm sure it will be great. This is not my knowledge base so any tips you can give will be appreciated. Maybe one- should we put a piece of colorful paper on the wall behind us?
You, Milady Gia, are a blast of fresh air! Carry on!
Thank goodness I saw this before my first zoom. Every detail you said worked so right for me. Thank you.
Thank you Gia for passing on your knowledge- most appreciated.
Yes, this is exactly what I need, I have a zoom meeting in two days wow
Love your energy and realness... sincere and what an uplifting person! Thank you for tips, really.
Thank you for your professional yet personal tone throughout the video. It is quite refreshing! This was very informational and helpful for me as I prepared for job interviews, which I will be taking through Zoom.
