Tips for a good webcam profile photo
- Face a window. Soft daylight from the front is the most flattering light there is.
- Raise the camera. Camera at or slightly above eye level.
- Use the timer so you are not reaching for the button in the shot.
- Turn off Mirror if there is writing in the picture, so it reads the right way round.
