Laptop on the desk is too low for camera angle and neck posture.
Laptop flat on the desk gives a bad camera angle (looking down) and bad ergonomics (bent neck). The fix is a laptop stand or a second monitor plus an external keyboard. Not a luxury, it prevents physio bills.
Try this first
- 1Laptop stand or a stack of books to get the top edge to eye level.
- 2External keyboard and mouse, otherwise you type on a raised laptop which is worse.
- 3Camera then sits naturally: just below eye level is fine, far below gives double-chin on video.
- 4Add an external monitor, use the laptop as a second screen or closed with a dock.
