I literally laughed out loud watching this. I have a stack of old encyclopedia books on my desk that I put my device on during Zoom calls. You're brilliant, I've gotten many tips here that I will use....and I came here from another of your videos. You're fun to watch too....added bonus.
I wasn't looking for them, but I just came across a few videos by Ms. Fehlinger, and I must say her content is super relevant and practical. But moreso, her delivery is excellent. She is a pro-and an accessable pro at that!
Thank you for the great tips. They all are very useful, including learning that wonderful demeanor that you have. Very professional, flowing, engaging (must try to learn somehow, in a man's version hopefully in my case.) And you are a beautiful woman, which, of course -kind of helps complete your amazing videos!
Shooting in a room without natural light or air circulation (like a garage) can easily lead to a rise of room temperature and a degradation of air quality which might be annoying the longer a shooting day becomes. If you want it or not, this leads to a visible fatigue. I guess it depends on the infrastructure how to solve that.
Is there a different camera other than the one on your laptop? You look like you are looking NOT at your laptop but at something higher... What about a standing desk, rather than sitting in a chair?
Can someone direct me to a video that shows me how to show a Word doc on my screen, in a Zoom call, with only me seeing the doc? Or just tell me here, ;>)
Excellent tips! I've invested in a ring light and told my colleagues to do the same. I love the look. I'm definitely interested in your video creation workshop. How do I find out more?
Thank you so much! I just found you and am moving my life production (as a speaker and violinist) to video and I have so much to learn. Which light would you favor for close ups as well as a 3/4 body shot while playing music (and moving around slightly)?
I see an M50 listed in your video kit. I use that camera but also got the M50 MkII. (Your camera provides a much better image than mine. Hmmm) I like the MkII for my video's because it won't shut off every 30 minutes when using HDMI out, and it will autofocus that way too. Great video's. I just found your channel and subscribed. Thanks for providing great content for us beginners.
I wish I had seen this instead of figuring it out for myself! I initially used a cardboard box to prop up my netbook! Then I got a "collapsable" station to turn my setup into a "standing desk." Next I found a circle light -- when my office window didn't work on overcast days. Finally I got a wireless keyboard/mouse so I could keep my arms at the right level for typing/scrolling. (Didn't realize for a while why I was getting such horrible shoulder pain.)
but Katie, what about botox, fillers, some silicone, nip n tucks, plastic makes perfect... I couldn't afford a professional makeup team so I go to the cemetery and offer myself as a mortician's model. It's kind of like a "stand in" lol
You're great. The overhead lights are not flattering either. Everything either looks too dark or way too bright increasing redness. I ordered the light. Thank you for these tips!
Additional tip: keep camera above nose level-some people have ever so slightly upward pointing noses or a bit larger nostrils and when camera is pointing up they show all to clearly. UGH!
These tips are so good and timely!!! Thanks to Covid I’m now like so many, making my living through Zoom meetings!! I’m a tall man- so And in face to face meetings height can often offer some positives when it comes to first impressions. NOT WITH ZOOM AS YOU SO CLEARLY POINT OUT. 2 days ago as, I cringe when I think about it, I actually said these exact words, “I’m so sorry that there are times you can’t see my face-I have an incredibly long torso!!! I kind of thought it was funny…. NOPE NOT AT ALL! So thank you so much for your tips! Wonderful and practical!!
Thank you, excellent tips!!! Now at least I will not be scaring my co-workers! I do wear reading glasses and had to get a work-around for those ugly flashes
I'm just starting this new phase of my work and I love your content and your down to earth presentation. Thank you so much for generously sharing your knowledge with a newbie.
Great videos. How far should you be from the camera? For Presentations: looking directly at the camera while reading is always tricky I know you have another video on this. I recorded myself doing a presentation using my camera while reading notes on PowerPoint and I find my eyes are going all over the place. I have my laptop and 2 Monitors but still have not found the right setup for notes. Also if one has a standing desk (or even a crate to prop the laptop on), do you advise people stand or sit while doing presentations? I find that it’s even harder to do presentations virtually that it is doing them in person!
Hi Katie- love ur videos. Thank u. I watched the Teleprompter one- I share my screen in the video recording and was wondering how to then read my script while filming. I may need to set up a second laptop to read from..thank u for ur inspiration& professionalism
Thanks for watching! Many programs allow you to screen share single windows as opposed to your entire screen/desktop. So you could share just what you want people to see and still read your script without anyone being the wiser!
Katie, how do you feel about backdrops? For everyday zoom calls, I have photos, a clock well in the background. So, is dressing up your set a good idea? Or keep it plain and simple?
I'm a fan of minimalism, a blank wall can totally work! But, what you're describing sounds great. I think the key is to make sure your background doesn't distract people's attention from you, and also be mindful that no objects are "growing out of you head" behind you:)
Thank you for the video Katie, Displaying slides through the lens using PPT Mirror tool with any IOS/Android device in a teleprompter , isn't it a definitive guide to giving eye contact on Zoom?, you can just use bullet points structure because you have the whole concept in front of camera .
Which of these tips are you going to implement?
Thanks for sharing, Lord-Jesus-Christ com
BTW “The Video Production Project” is not allowing me to sign up. Some weird glitch with the background color of a person's text.
Definitely the lighting looking into the camera thank you so much 😊
Every tips you gave is so important 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😘😘😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great video and great tips. I would add a 5th tip: Have incredibly great hair as you do so that you look amazing!
Thank you Katie for your tips. You speak so clearly and polished! You are beautiful. I know this took a lot of your time; I just wanted to say thanks.
Totally my pleasure! I'm so glad it's helpful!
I love this adorable lady and love her presentations. They are really helpful
What to do if you're ugly and old though?
How to look good on Zoom. Step 1: Be Katie Fehlinger.
How do you manage wearing glasses with a ring light or blue blocking glasses-there is either a ring that shows up on the glasses or blue reflection!
I wasn't looking for them, but I just came across a few videos by Ms. Fehlinger, and I must say her content is super relevant and practical. But moreso, her delivery is excellent. She is a pro-and an accessable pro at that!
Thank you so much!
Start by being a beautiful woman. Everything else is secondary.
GREAT VIDEO! Youre positioning your M50 OVER YOUR LAPTOP? im Trying to figure it out. What about STANDING UP and not sitting? Thanks so much 😊
Great video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻much love 💖
What kind of camera do you use for filming your informational videos???
I use the Canon M50 - love it!
What advice would you give CNN's legal correspondent Jeffrey Toobin? 3:24 - So; what you're telling us is size "does" matter?

What about looking good for people who are not as attractive as you? How much does that impact things?
Is there a different camera other than the one on your laptop? You look like you are looking NOT at your laptop but at something higher...
What about a standing desk, rather than sitting in a chair?
Very informative. You have a great speaking voice. Great content ... thank you!
So glad it was helpful!
Now that most of my 1st contact meetings are video calls I LOVE these tips!!! Thank you Katie!!!
Thanks Katie, nice video. And it should be illegal to look that good.. you make us all look lacking :-)
I'm your T-Rex in training. Thank you ❤️
Syndrome of superficiality
Extremely helpful tips. Thank you.
Excellent Post 🎬🎥📺✅🎩🥂💯🎯👍👊⚡⚡⚡
Can someone direct me to a video that shows me how to show a Word doc on my screen, in a Zoom call, with only me seeing the doc? Or just tell me here, ;>)
Thanks, Katie. Great tips. I use the Nada-Chair while sitting; it prevents slumping and actually helps your back at the same time. It’s very useful.
Super helpful! Thank you so much, Katie. I have to give my first Zoom presentation and your videos are a lifesaver.
Excellent tips! I've invested in a ring light and told my colleagues to do the same. I love the look. I'm definitely interested in your video creation workshop. How do I find out more?
So glad you found it helpful! More info on my course is coming super soon. Here's a link to some more info: mailchi.mp/03de8c90b739/vpp-waitlist
Thank you so much! I just found you and am moving my life production (as a speaker and violinist) to video and I have so much to learn. Which light would you favor for close ups as well as a 3/4 body shot while playing music (and moving around slightly)?
Thank you! You are very inspiring and a beautiful example of how women can be strong and female.
Thank you. Very helpful.
