Fast Track to Stronger On-Camera Presence
If you want the fastest improvement to your video presence, start here:
Fix your eye line.
It’s one of the smallest adjustments you can make, and one of the most powerful.
Before you worry about lighting, scripts, or editing, your camera position alone can completely change how confident and credible you appear on screen.
Why Eye Line Matters on Camera
Your eye line determines how your audience perceives you.
When your camera sits below your face, it looks like the viewer is looking up your nose.
When it’s too high, it can feel intimidating or unnatural.
Neither position supports authority or connection.
The most effective camera setup places the lens directly at eye level, so your audience feels like they’re speaking with you, not watching you from above or below.

How to Fix Your Eye Line (In Under a Minute)
You don’t need new equipment or a fancy setup.
Try this instead:
- Raise your laptop so the camera sits at eye level.
- Stack a few books under your computer if needed.
- Angle the lens straight on, not tilted up or down.
That’s it.
This simple adjustment instantly improves posture, eye contact, and presence.
Why This Small Change Builds Authority
Eye-level framing subconsciously communicates confidence and credibility.
It tells your viewer:
- You’re grounded
- You’re prepared
- You’re comfortable being seen
When your eye line is aligned, you stop compensating with your body or voice. You can focus on delivering your message clearly, not worrying about how you look on screen.
