🧠Mastering Body Language on Zoom: How to Look Confident and Engaged

In today’s world, many interviews happen over Zoom or Teams — and even though you’re at home, your body language still speaks louder than your words. The problem? Most candidates forget that virtual presence matters just as much as in-person presence.

Here’s how to make your body language work for you on screen:
✅ Eye Contact: Look at the camera when you speak, not the screen. It creates the illusion of direct eye contact — one of the biggest confidence signals.
✅ Posture: Sit slightly forward with shoulders relaxed. Leaning in shows attentiveness, while slouching can make you seem disinterested.
✅ Hand Gestures: Keep them within the camera frame. Use small, natural movements to emphasize key points — it adds energy to your voice.
✅ Smile and Nod: A warm smile and small nods show that you’re engaged and listening — crucial during virtual conversations.

🎥 Pro Tip: Record a short mock interview of yourself and watch it back. Notice how your posture, eye direction, and gestures come across on camera. Small tweaks can completely change how confident you appear.
