I love this. How refreshing not to have someone who's 26 telling us how to look younger. These are real tips anyone would benefit from. Much-appreciated!

[@MascaratoMidnight]

FOR REAL....I listen to everything she says. She's a walking advertisement.

[@SciFiGirl007]

Amen.

[@MascaratoMidnight]

@It's Okay It's okay (see what I did there) to put on makeup or get botox or dye your hair. It's okay to shave your legs or tattoo your eyebrows or wax your mustache. And it's equally ok to not to do those things if you prefer not to. What's not okay is to shame someone for doing what makes them feel pretty. No one has to do it if they dont want to. And there are PLENTY of channels who dont. I follow 20 women on insta who dont dye their hair. Angie's hair is beautiful. Wish I had the time and money to do that to my hair.

[@Lionforaday]

@It's Okay I think I hear what you're saying. But aging well doesn't have to mean wearing no makeup and leaving your hair in a flop. After all, most of the women in their 20s and 30s who have "beauty vlogs" aren't going "au natural, " either, right? They're putting effort into their appearance to. So she's not doing anything any other female vlogger isn't already doing. That's how I see it.

[@stefteddi2]

botox?

[@valerievozza4437]

I’m a professional videographer, and want to applaud you for the simple and straightforward lesson for folks who are new to being on camera!

[@LiveMusicOntario]

She definitely dispensed with a lot of the trendy advice about lighting given by videographers that thrive from their KZbin subscribers as much as from project clients. I especially like the non-judgmental, matter of fact advice about composing yourself and being aware of bad habits many people aren't even aware they do, especially the touchy touchy stuff. I've had a few video and graphics clients who were in hospitality - owners and managers - and they don't even know that they constantly do that 'thing' about putting a finger on their lip to wet it so they can pick up menus for arriving patrons. All. The. Time. OMFG!!!!

[@christaleman2279]

Hello Valerie

[@christaleman2279]

How are you doing today

[@stevejaffe3956]

As a professional photographer I was blown away at how expertly and easily you did this tutorial. It's not easy for people to live through Zoom but you have improved people's lives with your talk .

[@Jade-pf8dw]

I had a zoom interview this week with a company where I am old enough to be everyone's mom. I watched your video and it made a HUGE difference in how I looked on camera - in regards to lighting, computer position, and background. All was great advice and I felt much more confident. (and then the camera didn't work. lol) But now I know the drill for next time.

[@Future-zx9ts]

Can I also add - people need to become acquainted with the “mute” and “turn off video” functions. A person should be muted unless it is relaxed environment, meeting with friends, etc. If it is an actual business meeting, if the host doesn’t mute everyone automatically, please mute yourselves. I was on a call the other evening and someone was moving around, shuffling papers and their laptop, talking to their spouse, etc, after they entered the meeting late. It was very distracting. And if you need to get up or someone comes in and you need to take your attention to them, either move your built in camera slider (if you have one) to black out your video, or click the three dots in the top right of your box and disable your video. Just some little hints that are Zoom etiquette, and make the meeting more enjoyable (or at least tolerable -lol) for others. Thanks for the awesome video, Angie!

[@StephieFaith]

Yes! Our meetings are mostly 2 or 3 people talking and the rest of us listening. We have no need for camera or microphone to be on. People still haven't figured that out yet though.

[@karenwaldrop2307]

[@LettyK]

Yes, I thought just the same thing. Excellent presentation of how to present yourself in a video communication.

[@barbaravaughan2000]

[@sarahmaloney9699]

There's also a super helpful feature on Zoom called "touch up my appearance." It's under video settings and it helps diffuse harsh lighting. My clients comment on how great my lighting is, and that little feature helps, also diffuses the harsh evidence of our aging faces!

This is so helpful, Angie. My family has informed me that they would like to face time. I am in my late 70's and have been dreading it.

Ms. Bonnie, I understand how you feel (I'm 44 and expecting my first grandson, but I hate being on camera or taking pictures, period). If it makes you more comfortable and confident to have these tips, that's wonderful! But I promise you, your family just wants to see your sweet face and they aren't thinking about how you look! How I wish I could see my Grammy 😢 Happy Easter! 🐰🐇🙏💗

[@randycates9577]

Angie, as a professional photographer/videographer your tips were spot on. A tip I use often is cut pieces of an old shower curtain to drape over or in front of your light source. This acts as a poor persons diffuser and will soften light if it's too harsh. A large square of black felt can be placed on your desk or near the surface of your light source to kill reflected light that may make your skin look washed out. If you buy a dimmer switch from the hardware store to put between your lights plug and the wall socket you can adjust the lights brightness. Lastly, your video looks really professional but you never showed us the setup you use for the actual money shot - Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks, beautiful video.

[@rdwmmw]

Angie, thank you so much for your tips, ideas, positive attitude and awesome motivation for our age gals! l love all your videos and am a huge fan! I have ordered many of your makeup tips/ideas and I love them all and they are so flattering! Can't thank you enough for what you do! You are a true inspiration! Hugs, Michelle

I am in the middle of remodeling the house and I currently have my computer set up in my bedroom as we work on the office! I was panicked when I needed to set up for zoom meetings with clients! It's not ideal, but with your help I can make it work! I'm also 47, so tips coming from another mature woman are appreciated! I avoid video calling because I look terrible, and don't like revealing that to friends and family! Your tips have already helped a lot! Thank you! Patricia

Perfect timing for this video! I did a test run Zoom video today with my book club. It worked very well. I put makeup on for the first time in a while having been at home like most others. Was not happy with how I looked on screen sitting in my bay window in full sunshine! Even though I'm not using this for work purposes, we all want to look our best if we can. So thank you Angie for all the tips for position and lighting for our next book club meeting. Stay safe and stay home (if you are able).

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

I miss my book club! Might be time to get the band back together! Bright direct sun is worse than no light... it casts the darkest shadows. Soft indirect light is best!! xo ~a.

This is brilliant, Angie! I am a professional photographer and you did a great job explaining! One more tip, if you have sheer curtains, use them as they tend to soften the environment light.

[@HillCountryPrepper]

I'm working hard to re-vitalize my YT channel and these are essential practices every time the camera is turned on.

[@debragrimm2253]

I'm glad collagen was mentioned here. I have been using it for 3 years now, but in the recent weeks, had not remembered to fill up my smaller container, and simply hadn't been using it. I am remedying that right away! I had started with bone broth, which really is a helpful and healing thing, but moved to collagen because it is easier, both for storage and for use. Bone broth is wonderful, but having a cup of broth every day isn't always desirable, particularly in the summer, we're College in can be mixed into pretty much any non carbonated beverage. But both collagen and bone broth are wonderful for the skin, the joints, and just general overall good health. I will also recommend trying the phytoceramides. They help moisturize from the inside out.

Excellent set of tips! I got recruited to conduct COVID Zoom awareness courses with other instructors and my first lesson is the lighting situation. I use my home office and figured out that the window behind my dual monitors works best by using the vertical blinds to throttle the light source to the point that minimizes wash-out on my face. I also note how often other instructors pay NO attention to lighting and present themselves with washout as well as all sorts of distractions. Thanks much for the tips!

[@susancanter2909]

Marina Kalita tons of botox and surgery.

[@nirvonna]

Looks like her upper face has been lifted as well as the neck. The cheeks typically start to sag early, around age 30, give or take. The upper face goes before the neck does. She should not be wearing that choke chain, it highlights her aging neck anatomy. Although her neck isn’t sagging, the platysmal bands are pronounced and the suprasternal notch in her lower neck is sucked in to a degree that betrays her years. There’s no fix for that. She’s beautiful but anyone who can’t see her age or is shocked to hear it just doesn’t know what to look for or what modern surgery and injections can do for an aging face. She looks beautiful but it takes effort and know how to maintain. Jane Fonda is 82. Look at her.

Yes yes yes Everybody else is looking at themselves Best tip honest? Active eyes. Look at the participants constantly

[@theodorahnxumayo8377]

Me too

[@emergencyactionplanning9892]

Thank you for the lessons on face timing. I appreciate the education.

[@areejwaseem6882]

Well I did all of your tips but I figured out that the actual problem is my face

[@orozcoaj69]

😂😂😂

[@femmina63]

Areej Waseem so funny

[@Sahar_Peters]

Don't worry. Nobody cares.

[@justaperson7130]

[@3CBCO]

Never really thought about this so your topic was intriguing. Great job. You’re beautiful and your presentation was good.

[@kristinchambers1968]

Thanks Angie - I love all of your videos and this one is spot-on as always! Super helpful.

[@thomaspicray4020]

very insightful advice - just what I needed. struggle with doing web-cam meetings, especially interviews, etc. Lighting, camera angle, and a tidy presentation space - renewed confidence, thanks to this video.

[@santacruzdxe7905]

You’re such a nice person... You really shine as beautiful-inside And out! Thank you for the great video!

[@snowleopard7952]

Lighting is EVERYTHING. Carravagio, great master artists, established this hundreds of years ago. Thanks for the reminder. Lighting still applies to modern beauty.

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

So true!

[@usernamemykel]

"Photography" means "painting with light", and without light, there's no photography (other than infrared).

[@terri-lynnmccormick731]

@@usernamemykel technically it means drawing with light.

[@usernamemykel]

@@terri-lynnmccormick731 More technically, "writing with light". Look up the origin of "graph", then how it's used in "photography".

[@leah_loves_makeup]

This was a great video! I am a case manager (CPRS) and work from home now, so I’m on Zoom mtgs at least 3 times per day. So glad I found this specific video!! ❤

[@barbarabrescia7156]

Fabulous job! Quick, to the point, and very helpful!

[@alphaleonis986]

Also guys there is a 'face touch up' feature in zoom. It's very subtle so it's not like you have a major filter on, but I always have it checked.

[@hunkhk]

excllent tip

[@l.mack89]

Mine doesn't have this feature. 😭

[@anniersilver]

I had no idea! Thank you.

[@clareorealestate]

Alpha Leonis Thank you!

[@RondaBernstein]

@@l.mack89 It is under either General settings or Video settings. Everyone has it.

[@Whoiskevinjones]

Also learned I have to clean my glasses before a call. Dirty glasses really stand out.

[@patriciapritchard3018]

Hi Kevin never thought of that!!! Good idea😀

[@wdm213]

Totally agree. Slimy glasses, whether justified or not, imply slimy personal hygiene.

[@BaziBabe]

right I noticed that

[@usernamemykel]

What was the beverage in the glasses?

[@MK-ih6wp]

Good tip, thanks!

[@sarahwill5850]

Thank you, Angie! I am about to conduct my first presentation in over 10 years and appreciate your practical solutions without spending unnecessary funds.

[@bartpatel2787]

Thank you Ms. Angie for the great tips. I started testing them as I was watching your video.

[@Josh-pe5pl]

VERY helpful, especially the lighting and face-positioning angle.

[@kristinperpich8910]

Angie, I have allowed myself to binge watch your videos while on "lock down." It has been SO great. And now this amazingly helpful and timely video! You are the best!!!!! Keep doing what you are doing. We need more common sense people like you!

[@margotb7811]

Absolutely love this video, so helpful! Thanks Angie.

[@loiskubota9111]

Thanks so much! I have to start Zooming with clients and I really have to clean up my back ground which is my sewing room and you can imagine how that looks!

[@thendrix58]

This is PERFECT timing!!! Tomorrow evening, I'll be on my very first Zoom with 2 girlfriends (one in Colorado and one in Texas). I'm in Louisiana. We use to work together years ago and are still super close. I ALSO appreciate your makeup tips because I'm much older than they are (I'm 62) and I need to look alert and healthy so they won't worry about me! haha! Thanks so much for your tips!

[@reneeca5696]

Thank you so much for this! You always go all out, putting so much effort into every video you make, I so appreciate you, Angie!

[@RAW-zz7gt]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video and help “us” others out. BTW, you look amazing! You’re beautiful and kind. 🙏🏼💕

[@danlong1946]

Thank you. This was very helpful. I am going to check out the Ring Light now. One of the things I learned when I was working on a Video Conferencing solution for the CEO 20 years ago is the position the image of the person/people you are talking to directly under the camera. That will give the illusion of eye contact.

[@luciedesjardins6927]

Two minutes after this video showed up, my principal e-mailed me to set up a Zoom call for this afternoon. Thanks for the great tips!

[@brendandonaldiarmaid3110]

Lucie Desjardins Did you try what she said over here on this video? Do you still wear makeups because what i can see here you are already a beautiful woman

[@stephaniematthews107]

The tip I would add is to smile! You don't need to grin like a Cheshire cat, but relaxed expression looks better than a frowny one 😊

[@celeste1561]

Great tips Angie! Easy and affordable to implement - my favourite ones!

[@randyandrew82]

Hello beautiful, It will be nice to take you out for coffee someday. You seem like a nice person. I was browsing through when I stumbled into your page. I can't seem to send you a friend request on my end so I decided to leave a comment here. Can you send me a friend request? It will be nice to meet a new friend like you. I have no bad intentions towards us being friends my dear. Thank you

[@NadiraJamal]

Thank you for this! I’ve heard that advice on flattering lighting many times, but actually seeing examples of good, bad, and so-so lighting (and how to tell) actually made it make sense! Two more hair tips: A headset microphone is great for hiding flat hair, especially if you get a padded one. (It’s basically a headband, but does not make me look 12.). Also, if you’re going to put your hair up, topknots or side buns/ponies look better than styles that hide your hair on the back of your head like regular ponies or French twists. Also: taking these steps really helps give a good impression, but at the end of the day everyone else is just as worried about how they look to you!

[@georgelanna9620]

How are you doing today@Jess Reed?

[@joe33334]

I am a 64 year old man and found this very helpful.

[@yvonneanderson7691]

Ohhhhh.... As a 50 year old high school math teacher......I really needed this!!!! Thank you!!!

[@MaryPMcFee]

Thank you so very much for your time and expertise! This can make a world of difference between being successful and being rejected. This was truly helpful.

[@karenwirtanen1376]

I just recommended this video to my sister in law. I am going to be attending 2 Zoom classes in the daytime so I really appreciate those lighting tips. The file box is a really good idea also. One other thing you didn't mention is that there are backgrounds available on Zoom that you can use if you don't want to show the area in back of you. However, sometimes those are a little distracting especially if there are palm trees and an ocean! Thank you for all the great tips!

[@christaleman2279]

Hello karen

[@jeffu3724]

I am starting with a new, large, national company on Monday. These tips certainly help. Thank You !

[@pollypocket2282]

THANK YOU!!! I am still working and I’m now on more meetings now than I’ve had in my last year total! These video calls are making me look like the crypt keeper!!! And I have to say I’m bad about the hoodie thing.... my immediate coworkers get hoodie bun head me, and my bosses, VP’s,, clients and up get curled hair, nice shirt and makeup 💄!

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

LOL, that's funny!

[@sassy29545]

Thank you for the tips on lighting. I really needed to know that.

[@brenyp2545]

thank you! I've been encouraging my team to go live more and a lot don't know how to prop a phone up good. I love the coffee cup trick!! Perfect! Great video as always Angie!

Thank you so much for this, Angie! So absolutely PACKED with great tips -- I had to keep stopping the video to write them down so I could remember all of them!

[@blasu23]

I did the same thing.

[@lynneanilsonthibodaux9220]

Ha ha, Angie, I just ran into this video as it’s the first one of yours that I saw! I was hooked//and subscribed//and the rest is history and you’re my new best friend 💕. A friend back east was doing zoom meetings (and some tv spots on a national basis) and her lighting was absolutely terrible so I was looking for advice on that. This was awesome! She’s got it down now.

[@mylizzycuevas]

I've been working remotely since 2017 and came across your videos at that time. I really enjoy watching you and had seen this video the day it came out. Now almost exactly a year later, your video has 4.7 million views!!! Amazing. :-) I'm so happy for you!! Also, I do hope things do go back to "normal" before 2022.

[@aamyko]

The video we ALL wanted and most importantly NEEDED! Thank you! 😘
