How to Look Good on Zoom with GLASSES [ Day & Night Lighting Set up NO GLARE]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
- How to look good on zoom with glasses. If you have glasses you know that a lot of times you can see the computer screen reflected and whatever light you have lighting you. Whether you call them reflections or glare, the truth is they suck because it's distracting and hides your eyes.
In this video, I'm going to teach you why glasses create glare and how to understand the light so you can set up light that makes you look better for zoom calls, video conferences, and online teaching without the reflections.

Oh, Woman...when you said, "I'm getting that little twinge of not wanting to be judged. Which tells me I just need to be brave." I just STOPPED.
I had to replay a few times and really let what you said sink in.
Aside from the awesome truth bomb about being brave, LOVE what you're doing with your channel. Keep leaning into this path. You have a truly authentic presence and obviously it's resonating with the public.
right, I was shook when I heard that part. sounded like Brené
I agree! Gia is awesome! xoxo
YES, me too!!
Mary... I wrote above before I read your beautiful reply to Gia. I swear... that moment was so real... and far too rare in our discussions. There's room out here for us Mary... Gia... Lead on!! OK so... one more thing... I've not read below Mary. I will do so now. Who else on this line is loving' on you! both.
Yes, that was SO lovely! It made me feel as if Gia has been my friend for ages! :D She has such great presence and exudes so much positive regard for everyone.
I just love how positive and affirming Gia's personality is. We can use more Gia in this world.
I agree!
awwwww
She has a bubbly personality, a friend anybody could use on a bad day.
cringe
AGREED!
I'm a public speaking coach and I also teach online at my local community college. I'm having my CCV students watch your "How to Look Good on Zoom" video for the practical content. But I also want them to hear your message about beauty, their awesomeness, and the self-absorption of most people. I stress so much of what you're sharing about self-confidence, mindset, audience attitude, and positivity. Thank you. I'm sure they'll really relate to your youth, joy, and energy. On a personal note, thanks for sharing your messy space. So many of us can relate. I feel guilty and less-than sometimes because I know what my place 'should' look like compared to what it 'does' look like. (But who says? Mom's long gone and I live alone now. Why does it still bug me?) Anyway, terrific videos! I enjoyed spending time with you.
What an awesome remark! "I'm getting that little twinge of not wanting to be judged, which tells me I just need to be brave." I also had to stop and comment here. You really spoke to this glasses-wearing introvert who has been teaching online for 10 months. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much. I'm a professional Santa who had to go virtual this year. Putting together a 'set' has been a challenge and the proper way to light it was driving me bonkers. Your video was/is immensely helpful and it answered all of my questions and solved all of my problems. As all of the revenue that I generate goes to charity, I was thrilled to learn that I had all of the equipment needed to give the wee ones a realistic Santa visit. Merry Christmas. - Santa Frank of Buffalo
Wow! You know you made it when Santa writes you!
I’m so happy to be able to help and so grateful that you are spreading some much needed joy this time of year. Thanks so much for what you do, you totally made my week!
Santa!!!!!
AND THANK YOU FOR SHOWING THE REALNESS BEHIND THE SCENES. BEST PART.
Agreed!!! I have similar!

When you turned the camera to share with us the "behind the scene" area, my heart grew two sizes for you! You are awesome! Thank you for making this video about lighting for glasses. Very helpful =)
You have the most lovely natural way of talking - it’s such a pleasure to watch and understand - it’s like listening to my best mate!
you. you are so refreshing. I don't even wear glasses but I wanted to watch your video because your joy just made the heaviness in my brain disappear for a few minutes.
Being a long-time professional producer, editor, and cameraman, I can attest that your information is spot on.
Glasses, lighting, clutter, adulting, little twinge... thank you for being genuine because I'm living every piece of this and I am scared of all of it. You crushed this. CRUSHED IT. The science, the mechanics, the advice, the experience, it all makes this the most useful 20 minutes I've spent on RUclips in a long, long time.
I have tears in my eyes. At 68yo I want to start a RUclips channel and learn to do videos to help grow my email list for my online tech support business for Over 60'ers. So I'm taking a challenge with Trena Little, and one of the participants recommended this video for wearing glasses & light. I love, love, love you. I love your honesty, your realness, your transparency (especially your apt), and how clear and concise your teaching techniques are! The best part of the video is your last paragraph (maybe I CAN do this w all my wrinkles and 'oldness'!). Massive twinges. I just need to be brave. That's what Gia says. When I grow up I want to be just like YOU! XO Carol Hennessey
As a photographer myself (with glasses), anticipating an upcoming Zoom presentation to a professional audience, I really appreciated your concise, but comprehensive tutorial on lighting, including dealing with reflections from the screen. Great job!
this is by far the BEST video I've seen on glasses glare! And the tidbits on confidence are amazing reminders of our unique awesomeness - and yours. thanks!
OMG thats so kind of you! I’m so glad it all made sense and was helpful ✨
I learned something today! I am completely dependent on my glasses, and had the same problem you described but did nothing about it. I just stumbled on your video, and I love it. You are so transparent, relatable, and unpretentious, Your content is right on point and you explain everything intelligently yet not condescendingly. Gia, you’re the real deal, I just subscribed! Thanks so much!
Yep, my house is a freakin' disaster (pandemic homeschooling, running a biz, etc.) and I am CONSTANTLY panicking about what my camera picks up during board meetings, client meetings and crap. That moment of bravery was a thing of beauty. You are ALL OF US. And you are my hero.
Oh, and thank you for the terrific tips on glare on glasses. I had a stress-induced sh*t show meltdown the other day due to the 2 lightbulbs where my eyes should be.
listen, I'm in Arch school to get me master's. everytime a model is due or life gets crazy, a tornado flies around my room 🙃 thank you for being real!
You're amazing!!!! This is my third video in a row. You teach these things so well and you're so real. That explanation on paper super helped! Thank you Gia!
Thank you so so much! I've been working as a telehealth therapist for a year now and my eyes are so tired of wearing contacts! Now you've given me what I need to be more comfortable in my glasses so I can make that lovely eye contact with clients and be more present with them. Love your mission, thank you for this :)
LOVE your genuine honesty !!!!
You have your life together and your “clutter” is just proof of how busy and productive you are . You go girl !!! Happy I found your channel. ❤️
Ah thank you! I so appreciate you Laureen!
This is my first video I watched from you and you seem like a really nice person! We definitely need more people like your good self in this world! Not to mention, very informative video!
I love how you explained everything clearly! The drawing super helped. Will try these setups now. Thank you!!! ❤❤
Oh great, awesome to hear Micah! I actually debated a bit as to whether I should add that section in so I'm really glad to know it was helpful!
@@Gia.Goodrich The drawing made all the difference!
You are incredible for showing us what is behind you that was not on screen!! Your energy, enthusiasm and honest concern to help us all be our best is AMAZING! Thank you so much for putting yourself out there for ME and everyone watching. Thank you!
Gia, you are suddenly one of my favorite people! I love the cluttered house because that's just real life! The way you explain things is so clear and easy to understand. I will definitely be watching more of your videos to learn more about lighting and just whatever else you have to teach because I love listening to you!
I love your vulnerability and authenticity, Gia. Thank you for this and all your videos! And for letting me know it was up!!!
You are so welcome! Did you see your little cameo in the video? I screenshot comments. Thank you so much it really means the world to me to know I'm not talking to an empty room. I mean, I am, but I'm also talking to you
This video was made specifically with ME in mind. hahahah I have a ring light. I's the first thing I bought. I have eye glasses and I've done those long video meetings with GLARE for days. I've been annoyed about it but just took it as something that I have to live with. I am SO glad I found this video. Thank you!
As someone who wears glasses AND listened to all the ring light "advice", THANK YOU!! This totally helped me and made sense. Plus I love your vibe and honesty. Hoping this will help me start making online content for my business. Thank you so much!!
I a few days I am giving my first ever zoom presentation for a conference (first power point, first conference, first zoom - go big or stay home!) And, I wear glasses. Nervous doesn't even begin to describe what I am feeling. I learned so much from your video. I really love your vibe, it is so natural and relatable. You are a real person sharing your life with us. I felt good and hopeful just watching you.
Gia I am loving you! I have had a few zoom meetings, telemedicine, etc and I have looked so old ( I am older but no reason to look “old”!). You have helped me so much! And the glasses thing, girl YES! I can’t see close up so I have to wear readers and the glare blinds me when I look at myself, I can’t imagine being on the other end! I’m going to practice all what you said right now❤️! Thank you for the great education!
I’m really grateful for the content you’re sharing and helping me feel more confidence as I lead Zoom meetings. Thanks for the vulnerability of leaning into the sharing of the “behind the scenes”. As a creative who makes beautiful things in the middle of a tornado of clutter, I can relate!
I also want to say how much I appreciate and am glad that you’re sharing your personality, interpersonal sensibilities and your mission through these videos, too! It’s great to see someone sharing something that lights them up (but not their glasses)!
Love this for so many reasons - not just the super helpful advice but also how genuine and lovely you are and your great messages about being real
Gia, thank you so much for this amazing video. I’m in zoom mtgs 6 times every week and the glare on my glasses drives me crazy. Great tips I’m confident will work for me. And I didn’t mind the technical content because you broke it down and explained it beautifully.
I really needed this. Lighting, glasses, clutter. Phew, you taught me and made me feel better all at the same time. Thank you. p.s. New Sub :)
Great info - thanks for being ‘real’ and for showing the behind the scenes stuff - most helpful!!
I just want you to know that I appreciate the time you invest in the videos. I wasn't going to subscribe, but I just had to after watching this second video. The "bonus" of you being brave was such a positive thing to share for others to be uplifted.
Not only is this super helpful for looking better by managing lighting, but just as importantly, she has a great message of inspiring us to own our uniqueness and be bravely authentic! It's practical AND spiritual!!! LOVE IT!
So good, Gia! I love your content and the authenticity is stinking adorable. Way to go. You are amazing!
Oh thank you Kimberly so much! I can tell by your smile you have that same energy ✨✨✨
I LOVE YOU!! You're my "clutter sister"! thank you for all the help, because I'm an actress with glasses doing tons of Zoom room productions and computer glare is always challenging.
Love how REAL you are. We're all busy and have stuff in the background so it's all GOOD! LOL I have used all your tips and they are AMAZING just like YOU! Keep on bringing it Girl! We'll keep watching! Yay!
Gia! Life changing! I'm a Global Quality Training who pre-COVID would be doing instructor led training, now we're virutally training. I'm battled lighting and glasses glare since MARCH!!! EGADS! You are absolutly engaging! Much MUCH appreciated!!! Thank you for doing these- you're the best!!
Gia, you are amazing. Not only do I now know how to work Zoom better, but I have important tips to improve the photos I take! Thank you - and congratulations on your success! You have absolutely earned it. 😊
Oh thank you so much Nicole that really means a lot! It's been so meaningful to know that these videos are having a positive impact with real amazing human. Thank you for taking the time to write, you totally made my day!
I'm here to say that I really appreciate you sharing your clutter with us!! I'm also working on more authenticity and vulnerability and it is certainly a challenge haha. It's inspiring to see other people doing the same, and a reminder that our fear of being judged is usually the hardest part to get through. Odds are, others aren't judging us as readily as we judge ourselves
Oddly vulnerable is the best phrase I've ever heard to describe and relate to being on camera. Thanks for being vulnerable.♥️
My first time watching one of your videos! And I watched until the end! Love your energy and genuineness, Gina--not to mention the useful information you offer. Also, appreciate you not trying to get people to buy what they might not need. Looks like your audience has grown exponentially since you made this video! Good for you!!!!
Appreciated all your helpful hints and your energy!
Oh Sarah thanks so much I’m so glad it resonated with you!
Thank you so much! I need this! You explain things clearly and you’re so personable and relatable
You're so welcome! I'm so glad it was helpful. Because I totally get how much of a struggle it can be with glasses. I so appreciate you
So helpful! When the pandemic first started, I didn't really think about my appearance on video meetings because I was working with people who knew me. But now I'm working with people I've never met in person, so it's important to me that they get a sense of my personality. Which means they need to be able to see my eyes!
I just love u,, I was hesitant on watching this cause I don't really like long videos, but I love how u talk with us, its not boring at all an I really learned alot!! Ur awesome!!💛
Thank you so much for these videos! Very helpful for a teacher starting the year virtually. By the way, you are an excellent instructor: clear, concise, and easy-to-follow.
Thanks so much Racquel! That means a lot coming from a fellow teacher. I am sending you all the positive energy and moving into this new school year because I can’t imagine given everything you already deal with then adding the whole virtual component on top of everything.
I’m actually working on a video for virtual teachers so if there’s anything in specific that would be interesting for me to cover please let me know I would love to make sure we tackle it!
Looking at the space around you was the best part of the video! Now I don't feel so bad about my mess. Thank you for being so brave. You should be proud of the fact that your filming area looks perfect! Who knew?
Oh yay! That makes me feel so much better because it is definitely a source of embarrassment. But you were totally right, we’re creating and sometimes a part of that creating is messiness and that’s a part of the process.
Thank you for being so gracious and amazing!
@@Gia.Goodrich Dear Gia, I don't know if you saw my comment on another video of yours, but I have a problem sometimes with my skin looking red on Zoom. It doesn't always look that way. Any help?
Lol Was that a back-handed compliment? About not feeling bad about her messy background. 🤔
Sorry. Just saw the bit when she shows the space around her! My apologies. I thought you meant the bit behind her. 👍🏻😄😋
YOU JUST SAVED MY LIFE! Thank you for this. I have a job interview tomorrow and need glasses to see the screen. I spent about 2 hours finding the perfect place in front of a window and then finding a way to prevent the reflection in my glasses. (which means I have to remember how to angle my head and NOT look up!) I did pretty well (I'm a graphic designer so I understand a bit of the theory you taught), but now that I know if I block the light from the window, I can cut the glare even more. LOVE the content. You're great! Love the pep talk at the end. Hugs to you!
Yesterday 2/13/21. I began getting myself ready to do Zoom and my glasses were driving me crazy. I have a window behind and to the right of my camera. This video and your video explaining how light works has SAVED ME. I’m subscribed to your channel and I have to say that you are one of the best presenters I follow. Continued success and I look forward to watching all your videos.
I love your vibe Mia! so engaging, real and informative. I've been frustrated with glasses reflecting light and making me look like an undercover alien for so long! I now understand about angle of incident and how to adjust my lighting to reduce the glare. Now I'm looking forward to my next Zoom meeting as a human 🤓 💗💗💗🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽😉
A fellow glasses wearer here!!! I thank uuu and the bts of stuff is 👏🏼👏🏼. One of my hurdles in not filming is cause I always tell myself I can’t even get my room clean. Ugh. Thank u for showing us it’s possible and that it’s normal to not have it all together!
LOVE your authenticity where you show your space. It got me hooked on your content specifically because you were vulnerable enough to be real with us. And...thanks for the great tips on lighting and glasses glare. I'm going to share this with my Toastmasters peeps.
I know I am SUPER late to the game here but I am so grateful I found this video!! I've been a floor nurse for 14 years, so I have had minimal experience with Zoom and all the new technology that came out the last few years. I just got a work from home nursing job that's ALL online and I feel so silly for not knowing all the tips and tricks the rest of the world has had for 4 years!! I very much appreciated the explanation of light and angles instead of just saying do this bc I said so. You're awesome! 🥰
Oh my gosh! You are so confident & upbeat on camera! Not only are these specific "glasses" tips helpful---I will probably watch one of videos before every interview. Your attitude--watching that is so helpful/inspiring too!!!
Thank you, Gia! I love your comment about clutter! I am at a point in my life of wanting to show up despite the clutter and judgement so thank you for being brave and showing your clutter. Your courage endeared you to me. I am sending a link to your video to a friend now! Thank you for being so open and informative. You are wonderful, real and authentic.
I'm a virtual elementary teacher and I've just been dealing with glass glare thinking I had no other options. I was just thinking I would need to spend a ton of money on a bunch of things, but then I found your video! Thanks so much!
I LOVE you being YOU. Thank you for being vulnerable (so we can all be ok with being human), thank you for your giggly, fun personality ... oh and YES! Thank you for ideas on taking away the glare scare!
Thank you Gia I am starting my channel too. I am from Philippines. I have glasses and I feel so bad taking video of myself. So thanks!!!! Love you! Congrats on yoyr channel!
Oh wow congratulations! I'm going to follow your channel now and send you all of the positive vibes. I can't wait to see what you create
You are my new hero. Love the authenticity and self-love! We need more of this in the world!
Your energy is contagious, so glad I found your videos!
Thanks Gia! You solved the issue I was having with my Lume Cube. I am going to set it higher to get the glare off my eyeglasses. What a gem you are!
Oh my, thank you so much for explaining this in a way that makes sense to me.
Oh my goodness, the glasses glare can be so distracting! Thanks for posting this!
I love your genuineness. You are just being yourself.
I’m addicted to your teaching after the Zoom tutorial. Hugs from Tanya from New Zealand 🤗
You're a natural! Your videos are changing everything for me. I do not dread meetings anymore!
I love this! Thank you so much! You are WONDERFUL!!!!! I have struggled with my glasses and glare for a very long time. I'm excited to try all I have learned from you! Thank you, thank you! xoxo AND you are SO FUN! Your ring light discussion is so FUNNY!
Glad I found your station. It’s helping me. I have always been camera shy but there’s no running from it now....it’s become part of our job for many. Thanks!!!
Go girl!! love your vulnerability!! First time viewer - this is my second video of yours! Love your style and your heart!!
Love the vulnerability and practicality that are your lovely combo!
Love how you present information. Wish I would have found you 10 months ago (glad I found you now). So great that you were brave to show your room. Before showing it, I thought “she is so organized and minimalist.” I was relieved when you showed your room. I gave a sigh of relieve that I am not the only one hiding stuff on Zoom😅
Gia you are the absolute truth, charming, engaging, positive and informative. This video totally addressed my concerns. You've found your niche, just stay focused. You are what this world needs!!!
I thought this was going to be about glare.... but wow! You are an awesome human being: "Getting a little twinge of not wanting to be judged. Which tells me I just need to be brave.".... and then showing us your messy rooms. Thank you for making us feel human!
Thank you!! I've struggled with this glare issue for the past year and it has driven me and my clients crazy. You are such a blessing. Thank you forsharing your knowledge and uplifting spirit!
What a positive attitude. I love hearing her tips and tricks. I have used them all
Love your videos, their full of positive teaching! I love that!
Thank you for this whole video - from the science explanation to the behinds the scenes look at how to make it work, to your "pot-production no-makeup Gia", I just loved this. AND I learned so much and maybe now I can wear my reading glasses in a virtual table read without the glare of my monitor hiding my eyes.
Thank you Gia! Watching your video was so not just informative, which I loved, but Your energy and bubbliness made it so compelling!!
Love your vibe and honesty, clarity and authenticity. Well done on growing your audience so quickly :)
Gia, just wanted to say that I really enjoy the enthusiasm and technical knowledge you impart to us in your very instructive videos. You have solved the glasses-glare problem that I was trying figure out and am so happy that you were able to monetize your channel...great videos, thanks so much and GOOD LUCK!...now I'm going to check our some of your other videos :-)
Thank you Gia! We just started a new podcast and I knew nothing about lighting, but now I do! Honestly, I watched several videos and yours was the best, I understand so much more now in only 20 min! Additionally - how does someone actually make a video about lighting fun?!? Seriously? You are radiant... and not because of the lighting. You said and communicated so much more than just lighting. Keep doing what you do! You are beautiful inside and out!
Just love your enthusiastic about your expertise and your authenticity and bravery of being yourself in your own space. You are good, real and funny! Thank you.
What a find Gia Goodrich is! So practical and down to earth - yet she produces valuable teaching!
This is your second video I have watched. I have been wearing glasses for 60 years. During the pandemic I am attending meetings on Zoom. I really needed this glasses video. Thank you for posting.
Gia...your energy and vulnerability is captivating. Great advice, incredibly delivered. I agree with Ian, the world needs more Gia's and so glad you're ratings and subscribers has rocketed..!
I've just watched two of your videos and I'm hungry for more. You are SO cool and positive and communicative and bubbly.....I'm hooked!
Finally, a fun and accurate explanation that demystifies the whole glare dilemma! No worry about the mess, it is all part of the creative process! Love your input on the ring light because I also didn't feel like it lived up to the expectations! Love your energy and content!
Love Gia's clarity and examples to help solve lighting issues.
I just found you, got instantly hooked on your technical knowledge and content and proceeded to binge watched your videos. I am new to content creating and am so unaware. You are officially my favorite You Tube personality. I just love your passion and authenticity. I am learning so much from you. Thank you.
Oi listen .... OMG .... this video content + authenticity + transparency is such a dope combination . You not only gave the answer on HOW, but the break down on family of angles IE the WHY was brilliant for how a learn and apply. Your AWSOME
You are so full of energy, fun, transparent, & informative. I love how "normal" you are.
What a joyful experience it was to watch this! I got the information I needed and I had SO MUCH FUN doing it.
Thanks Gia...been struggling with this for a good while now. Your guidance has truly been helpful!!
I love, love, LOVE that you were honest enough to show us your 'normally cluttered' space! Makes me feel sooo much better about my own disaster area now. Thank you so much :)
I just love your personality! 2 videos in and I’m hooked! New subbie! ❤️
Thank you! It was so clearly explained.... will definitely use your tips starting... now!! LOVE YOUR ENERGY and how genuine you are!!
Thank you for being real... so many things i wasn't even thinking about... and they matter and REALLY AFFECT me when presenting!
