How should I set up my Zoom for a presentation?

Imagine you are a movie director setting up a shot, and your frame on the computer screen needs to tell the story about who you want the audience to see. What impression do you want to make, and what visuals would represent that?

If you are giving a presentation on private equity trends, you may want a clean environment with straight lines, clear indoor lighting, and to dress in business professional wardrobe to keep your focus on the figures.

However, if you are focusing on soft skills and encouraging a team to be more empathetic to work together smoothly, you may choose a location with softer furniture, choose creative business casual wear, and personal artwork to subconsciously prioritise the human side of your message.
