The logitech brio 4k webcam is nice. Everyone says I look like I'm on the news. I stand by my use of a Jabra headset instead of some mic and speakers setup, I'm never the one generating an echo, background noise or other heinous WFH crime.

Can confirm. I have the Brio too and it is perfect.

If u have a usb c powered laptop, get Any monitor with usb c connection. It'll power your laptop and take the display feed through one cable. Microsoft lifecam hd is the best simple webcam, watch comparison videos on YouTube. Any of the basic Jabra usb/Bluetooth speakers works great. Also get a sit stand desk

These new usbC based monitors act like the dock in itself. My whole desk is taken care of in one cable to the power outlet.

Get one of those ring lights YouTubers use to look good in video calls. They’re cheap on Amazon.

I started using my Canon 80D with an El Gato camlink as a webcam. I have yet to see a better picture quality in a conference call 😂

Home office preference question. I am getting ready to redo the layout of my home office. One option I'm considering would have my desk facing a wall. I am wondering if anyone with this current setup has any feedback about it. I would face the wall so that I would have a better background for video conferences (am on about half the day) and also my cord situation would be cleaner.

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs? I’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

Anyone using your tv as a second monitor these days? Any advice on doing this wirelessly or without a giant HDMI cord going across my living room? I tried chrome cast and I don’t want to just mirror my screen, I need a dedicated second monitor. Thanks!

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

1099 or w-2 ? I have been given the option though the company prefers w-2. It’s a day rate booking couple of months or more (no end date). I already have 1099 from similar company this year and am leaning towards 1099, but I don’t want to be difficult. I do take home office deduction and they are not supplying any equipment. Suggestions?
