40. Right now, a lot of people are scrambling just to make

the technology work. Getting your web cam set up and actually functioning is harder than most people think. And then, you've never used Zoom or Skype before, so figuring out how to do that take some time. Only then can you think about lighting and sound quality.

For example, in Windows 10, few people even know how to find out how to see if their web cam and mic is even working.

Hint: Click Start and then Apps and then click Camera. Once that Windows 10 app starts, look for the video camera icon and click it. And there you are, looking at yourself on the monitor. Click the red button and say a few words, click the button again to stop recording and you've recorded a video, which you can play back to see how it looks and sounds. Go from there. You can adjust your mic levels in the Control Panel Sounds app in Windows 10.

Once your setup is working in Windows Camera app, it will work with all applications that are looking for a web camera. But, people don't know that, so they fire up Zoom and then scramble to get everything working there, five minutes before their time to go on is.
