HOW DO I MAKE EYE CONTACT IN AN ONLINE MEETING? The most difficult thing I had to adjust to in the new online world was changing my habits surrounding eye contact. Online I have a window with your picture in it. When I look at your picture, it doesn't appear that I am looking at you. The best tip for live communication is also the best tip for online communication. Look at your audience. The major difference is that your audience isn't their faces anymore, the audience is now the camera. Having notes is okay, just as it is when speaking live, but you should never speak to your notes. Stop, look at your notes, look back at the camera, and speak. Whenever you speak, look at the camera. There are ways to make this easier. First, put you camera near your monitor. This means that if you need to look at something on your monitor, you aren't looking far away from the camera. Second, zoom in. Make sure that your camera is close. Learn to look at your audience when you speak. Online that audience is your camera. Learn to look at your camera. FREE RESOURCES Anyone can become a GREAT communicator!
