Look at the camera, not at the other person’s eyes on your screen. You are not maintaining “eye contact” but the other person will think you are. Genius!

It’s actually fun how in video calls everybody thinks they’re doing eye contact by looking at other people’s faces on screen which in reality makes them look down and not straight at the camera.






I share my room with my family and turned my camera to an angle to avoid filming them.

The weird thing is, it looks like I’m looking at the off-screen when I’m actually watching the video, and vice verse.


I know Apple corrects for this in FaceTime at least - see the “EyeContact” feature. Not sure about other video call providers.
