Video-Conferencing
summary
Claims that about 60% of engineers present in a low-quality “smelly video” style and lists concrete fixes: eliminate dark silhouette by moving position or adding a 45° front light, frame to show hands with ~3–5 cm headroom, avoid the pyjama mistake and cluttered backgrounds, use a headset or external mic, close bandwidth-hogging apps and test internet. Demonstrations stick to practical, repeatable actions rather than vague rhetoric, and note that real backgrounds read as more professional than virtual ones.
