No dark-mode styles — this email renders the same in a dark client.

It’s not you. It’s your lighting.

The secret to looking better on video
*************************************

If your camera feed feels blurry, flat, or dull — it's usually not you. It's your setup. Here's how to instantly level up your presence on video:

Fix your lighting
-----------------

Lighting matters more than the camera. Face a window for natural light, or add a simple key light at eye level. Avoid overhead lights that cast shadows. The goal: even light on your face, not dramatic contrast.

Raise the lens
--------------

Center your camera at eye level. Sit far enough back to show your shoulders. Clean up your background or simplify it. What's behind you is part of your message.

Upgrade your gear
-----------------

You don't need a full-blown studio but an external webcam and microphone can make a big difference. Laptop cameras and mics compress detail and flatten quality but dedicated hardware increases clarity.

Airtime completes the picture
-----------------------------

With Airtime, you can build a clean, focused video presence. Go even further with slide-based presentations and recordings that place you right alongside your content.
