在家进行视频会议(Video conferencing)现在是与团队成员交流的最佳选择之一。如今,很多人都在家工作或被迫在家上网课。考虑到所有这些,每个人都必须努力让自己看起来最好。
最大的问题是,我们如何在不破产的情况下实现这一目标?不用担心(Worry),我们将提供一些关于如何完成工作的技巧和细节。
如何在视频通话中展现最佳状态
在个人或商务虚拟会议中,您必须在视频会议通话中展现最佳状态。这里有一些提示给你。
- 使用您拥有的最好的相机
- 调暗(Dim)屏幕并看着相机
- 举起相机
- 使用支持的富士相机
- 更好的照明
我们现在将更详细地讨论这个问题。
1]使用您拥有的最好的相机
无论您使用哪种视频会议软件,拥有一台出色的摄像头都是在视频通话中展现最佳状态的方法之一。(video conferencing software)大多数笔记本电脑的网络摄像头都很糟糕,所以如果你可以避免使用它们并专注于独立的网络摄像头,那将对你的信心大有裨益。
是的,使用笔记本电脑更容易,尤其是在参加专业视频通话时。因此,在这种情况下,我们可以理解您不愿意使用移动设备。尽管如此,如果您有任何机会使用智能手机,那么该设备应该始终是默认设备。
2]调暗(Dim)屏幕并看着相机
与摄像头进行眼神交流非常重要,因为它给人的印象是在通话中直视与您通话的人。尽量避免看对方的眼睛,因为从他们的角度来看,你在往下看。
做到这一点并不容易,但如果可以的话,尽量完成大部分会话的任务。
3]举起相机
在视频通话中,没有人愿意只看你的下巴或脖子。在开始之前,请设置网络摄像头以捕捉您的整个面部。视频通话开始后再次仔细检查(Double-check),以确保一切都符合标准。
对于那些使用智能手机的人,我们建议将设备支撑在坚固的物品上并不断调整,直到您的脸完全在框架中。
4]使用支持的富士相机
不久前,富士胶片(Fujifilm)的人们宣布现在可以将他们的一些无反光镜相机用作网络摄像头,特别是 X 和GFX系列。该公司希望您将应用程序下载到您的Windows设备上以使其正常工作。
目前支持的相机有:GFX100、GFX 50S、GFX 50R、X-H1、X-Pro2、X-Pro3、X-T2、X-T3、X-T4。
5]更好的照明
大多数网络摄像头在光线不足的情况下表现不佳;因此,建议在发起视频通话之前将自己置于明亮的位置。如果可以的话,继续坐在开着的窗户附近,从外面获得一些自然阳光。
如果您无法做到这一点,请坐在家里的荧光灯下。这些灯泡很棒,因为它们模仿自然光,而且大多数都不会发出黄色变色。

How to look your best on a video conferencing call - Tips & Best practices
Video conferencing from home is now one of the best options to communicate with team members. A lot of folks these days are working from home or are forced to home school online. With all of this in mind, it is imperative that everyone tries to look their best.
The big question is, how do we make this happen without having to break the bank? Worry not we’re going to deliver some tips and detail on how to get things done.
How to look your best on a video call
In personal or business virtual meets, it is imperative that you look your best on a video conferencing call. Here are some tips for you.
- Use the best camera you have
- Dim your screen and look at the camera
- Raise the camera
- Use a supported Fujifilm camera
- Better lighting
We will now discuss this in more detail.
1] Use the best camera you have
Irrespective of the video conferencing software you are using, having a great camera is one of the ways to look your best on a video call. Most laptop webcams are terrible, so if you can avoid using them and focus on a standalone webcam, that would be a boon to your confidence.
Yes, its easier to use a laptop, especially when taking part in a professional video call. So, in a situation like that, we can understand your reluctance in going mobile. Still, if there is any chance you could use a smartphone, then that device should be the default at all times.
2] Dim your screen and look at the camera
Making eye contact with the camera is very important as it gives the impression of looking directly at the person you’re speaking with over the call. Try to avoid looking at the person’s eyes because from their perspective, you’re looking down.
It’s not easy to do this but try to complete the task for the majority of the session if you can.
3] Raise the camera
No one wants to look at just your chin or neck when in a video call. Before you begin, please set the webcam to capture your entire face. Double-check again after the video call has begun to make sure everything is up to the standard.
For those who are using smartphones, we suggest propping up the device on a firm item and keep adjusting until your face is fully in the frame.
4] Use a supported Fujifilm camera
Not too long ago, the folks at Fujifilm announced that it is now possible to use some of their mirrorless cameras as webcams, specifically the X and GFX line. The company wants you to download an app to your Windows device for it to work.
At the moment, the supported cameras are as follows: GFX100, GFX 50S, GFX 50R, X-H1, X-Pro2, X-Pro3, X-T2, X-T3, X-T4.
5] Better lighting
Most webcams perform badly under reduced light; therefore, it is recommended to place yourself in bright locations before initiating a video call. If you can, go ahead and sit near an open window to get some of that natural sunlight from outside.
If you’re not able to do this, then sit under a fluorescent bulb in your home. These bulbs are great because they mimic natural light, and most of them do not give off that yellow discoloration.
