This is wonderful. You're a real human. It feels like you have our best interests in mind, and you really want us to look our best. No gimmicks, no millennials' beauty tricks because I'm 64, and I have jowls and sagging neckline and bags under my eyes. It's really depressing. I want to start a KZread channel, but I'm daunted by the way I look. But your friendly easy to listen to manner is giving me courage. Thank you.

Go for it Tina! When you do, let me know so I can check it out!

I'm in my 70's so I've never done any video conferencing before, but I find myself in that situation with my friends, Bible Study Group, and family. This was a huge help to me. I am going to send it on to others. You are very down-to-earth and pleasant. Thank you for making this video. Can't wait to see others.

I had my first video chat with my daughter and two grandchildren. It was a surprise call and we are on quarantine but I was fully dressed and my hair was combed. I am 73 and I was horrified that I looked like an old crone. I finally told my daughter to send the kids out of the room because I was sure I was scaring them! Later, I worked with a pile of books to get my I pad out from under my chin and I will definitely put on eye makeup! Good tips for those of us who are still emerging from the Stone Age.

Thank you! I’ve been horrified with my on camera face during Zoom meetings! This really made a difference.

I've been astounded by how little thought some of my colleagues have put into how they look in virtual meetings - cameras pointing up people's noses, unmade beds in the background, etc. You gave a great collection of tips.

Cindy Howard good point Cindy, but do u think the person who would have the type of stuff going on in the background and not give it a thought, would bother with SuperPHdiva? Tacky classless people don’t believe that their background of debris, unmade bed, screaming kids running back and forth, really don’t care.

Since I'm the minute taker for 80% of my Zoom calls, people look at the top of my head. Hahahahaha

Fantastic tips! I'd add: don't walk around during Zoom/virtual meetings. I've been in so many recently where participants are walking around their homes during the entire meeting. 😆

This is the best video I've seen on looking good on video. Your examples were very helpful. Thank you ⭐️

I stumbled onto this video, but I'm not a woman 50 plus. I'm a man 60 plus. And although this video is somewhat highly tuned for women 50 plus, I found most of the advice here excellent for us men, too, except I'm not sure what to think about the make-up specific information. Everything else seems highly useful--the lighting advice, awareness of the background, sound, the size and position of your face in the video, the left-right-up-down balance of lighting. The smiling part also seems applicable, although I know that socially there is a feeling that men are generally not expected to smile as much as women in some circles. I also find it interesting that when I am photographed, sometimes I think I'm giving a huge smile, or I feel as though I am smiling largely, but when I see the photograph, it doesn't look like I'm smiling at all. I can see how practicing before a camera can be huge. Anyway, thank you for your excellent advice, even though I know you were intending it to be heard primarily by women over 50. I think men and women over 50 tend to lose that feeling that one gender is somehow spying to listen to advice targeting the other gender, so it's all pretty much normal and helpful and appreciated, too. I hope you don't mind that a man listened in or that men might find this useful, too.

Thank you David. Haha, I don’t mind at all if you watched it. I’m glad it was helpful to you,

I do zoom meetings several times a week. I use a laptop , my desk is against a wall. I have a ring light mounted on the wall in front of me and use a virtual background to mask my actual space. I also make use of the filter features in zoom or MS Teams😊

You certainly modeled a great video! This is the first video I found/watched of yours. I am currently teaching remotely and videos are going well but you gave some really good tips. Thank you! I also really loved your friendly approach in your video. I look forward to watching some of your other videos. Take care!

These are great tips for EVERYONE and not just "for Woman over 50." Thank you. Subscribed & added this to a playlist.

Thank you so much for all these tips, Bobbie! I am 63 and have intentionally lost 52 pounds recently, so these tips will be valuable to show me as the healthy lifestyle I now enjoy!

Excellent info! Thank you for taking the time!

You look so great! This was so helpful.

100% good info. I am on conference calls 6 hours a day, going back for years now. Every tip offered here is spot on great advice.

Thank you so much!!! These are really great tips.

Excellent tips! Subscribed! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you for the excellent advice regarding creating video calls etc. Great advice!

This is photography lighting 101. Extreme side lighting is called "split light", when the one side falls into shadows. Light from below is called "ghoul light" because it makes you look like, well, a ghoul, l0l. The pillow case is reflecting the main light into the shadows like a reflector. The BEST light is from 45* to the side of the face and slightly above. Cheers!!

Thank you so much for this video! Found you on accident but this is perfect timing!!

You have a contagious JOY in your personality! Love your videos! (Your hair looks great!)

Excellent presentation. Thank you so much!

This presentation was extremely useful to me. Thank you so much!! :-)

super good tips. Thank you so much.

Excellent reminders! 👍🏻👍🏻

I loved your video! This is the first time I watched you. You are such an inspiration!

Loved it thanks.

First video of yours I’ve seen and I subscribed. You are informative, professional yet approachable, knowledgeable and beautiful! You spoke with confidence and ease and are relatable. Thank you for these excellent, pertinent tips. Much appreciated. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

I'm a new viewer-fan. My hair is white and I normally add blond to darken it...so while in quarantine, the blonde faded and my hair is now platinum like Marilyn Monroe! Because I'm elderly, white is an older look. I darken to look younger. Yes--I really love Lumify eye drops. It's a little pricey, but a wonderful product...from Grandma Bunny--not the dumbest blonde in Arizona!

I've been searching forever for a video like this so I can record videos with my phone. I was disappointed with the videos I've watched. I stubbled on your video today and it was exactly what I needed. This was priceless and so helpful! I love the attention to detail. Showing all the differences. And your personality is just the sweetest. I've subscribed after glancing over your past videos. I have about 10 years before I'm near 50 but love your content. Thanks again for this information.

great video and very informative! Thank you!

Thank you, now that so many of us are teaching from home, it's useful to learn some tips and tricks form people who film themselves all the time!

Spot on!

Excellent tutorial. Thank you so much.

Thanks so much!

Very helpful. Thanks

Oh I LOVE you! You covered it all! I have 2 conference calls tomorrow and this really helps! I have done a few things you mentioned which I will try not to do tomorrow. Its so nice to have a lady close to my age (I am 61) who gets it and understands how important it is as we get older, to be careful of angles, lighting, and what I am doing while I am on camera. I am probably not going to be attentive at all, as I will be looking at all the things everyone is doing wrong!! For once, I am looking forward to a conference call! Thanks Bobbie, looking forward to watching more of your videos :-)

Wow, very informative. I would not have thought that the lighting would make such a drastic change, but your examples were spot on. You are very pretty, by the way. Thanks.

Very good advice!

Your hair is beautiful! Thanks for helping us show our best selves through this trying time. Keep up the Good Work!! :)
