This feature is hit or miss. Sometimes it makes it look like they smeared vasoline over the camera lens; too obvious and fake, especially paired with a bad camera.

Fix: external cam (not the built in junk) and good lighting

Maybe buy a ring light or something to get better lighting on your face. But if you’re actually ugly maybe try smudge your camera lens and sit in low lighting?

Wait till you hear your voice in a recording. That is the real ughh!

Might be your lighting. Get a ring light.

Life is hard but there is always a way to convince your client!

Ah, there old adage of "It's not the dress that makes you look fat, it's the fat that makes you look fat." Husbands everywhere that used this are undeniably wanting to sleep on the couch.

That's ok but have you ever been asked to go off video because you'd look too young to the client?

It just be like that sometimes

Get good lightening and angle the camera downward.

The short: Would anyone be up for starting regular virtual co-working sessions? I’m thinking 2-3 rounds of [5 mins to set intentions : 45 mins of work : 10 min break]. The long: One technique I’ve found to stay focused is “body doubling,” i.e., having another person present while you’re working. I’ve had some success replicating this over Zoom/Google Meet. Everyone works on their own thing and stays muted during work blocks, but videos stay on. It reminds me of studying in the library vs at home

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?
