Similar to FaceTime, be careful what can be seen on the screen....too much stuff displayed, disorganized mess, etc. can be distracting and it also is a reflection on you.

if you wear makeup, don't overdo it.

Keep clothing simple...no prints that can get distort or be hard on the eyes. Neutral colors.

place your device in such a way that you are slightly looking up at the screen.

close door(s) to the room you are so no interruptions, visual or sound wise. Adjust the volume on your device so you can be heard / they can be heard.

have desk surface cleared of all distractions: keep paper and working pen(s) close by.

at first instance where you can't see or hear someone, ask for assistance. If you know someone who will be on the call, talk with them before the meeting so they will be alert if you need them.

i did my first Zoom call a few weeks ago and my first Face Time call months ago. Keep it simple and you will be fine.

@jlkz @Squirt60 Using a virtual background is essential! There's too much going near my computer set up- Zoom will have a few default options to select under 'Settings'. But you can load any jpg to use as a virtual background.
