Setting Up Your Teaching Space (Camera, Mic, Lighting)

Your setup is your first impression

Before you say a word, your student is judging your video quality, audio clarity, and background. A dark room with echo and a grainy webcam screams 'unprofessional.' You don't need expensive gear, but you need to get the basics right. Three things matter most, in order: audio, lighting, camera. Bad audio is the fastest way to lose a student. Bad lighting makes you look tired. A bad camera is actually the least important of the three.
