The check that happens too late.
You fix your framing in the first seconds of the call — the seconds everyone sees. Kondreh moves that check a moment earlier.
- 01
Backlit by the window, you join as a silhouette.
- 02
Your face is cropped at the forehead.
- 03
Something embarrassing is in frame.
- 04
You open Zoom just to use it as a mirror.
One job, done well.
