Monitor Arms & Accessories — Expert Answer

How should I position a monitor arm for the best video conferencing experience?

For good video conferencing: position the monitor so the webcam (built-in or external) is at or just above eye level — this creates a natural 'meeting' gaze angle rather than looking up (unflattering) or down (seems disengaged). Place the external webcam on top of the monitor with the monitor at eye-camera height. Sit at the correct distance from the screen (arm's length, 20–28 inches) so your face fills the frame appropriately without being too close. Position the monitor away from window backgrounds (backlit faces are difficult to see). A gas-spring arm makes it easy to adjust the monitor height precisely for each user and each video platform's frame. FindOfficeFurniture.com — 888-719-4960.
