Without the professional assets available in a professional television studio, politicians, celebrities, and industry experts often look ghastly when being interviewed remotely from their homes. Sub-HD resolution webcams built into most, even high-end, laptops don’t help. Poor lighting, mainly when using video calls from home, is undoubtedly a big problem. What’s been amusing to me is that despite the pervasiveness of video communications, how unflattering we often appear on camera using underpowered, low-resolution webcams get too little attention.

With the pandemic now in the rearview mirror, video communications techniques have shown no sign of slowing down. Videoconferencing, podcasts, and webinars surged in popularity during the pandemic years of 20 as remote work became part of the new normal.
