I guess I do it for a couple of reasons. My mind wanders a lot, looking at myself keeps me a bit focused and ensures I don’t do anything silly. I also try to put myself as close to the camera as I can, I know you often come off better looking into the camera when speaking.

To quote one of my favorite quarantine memes:

“I am Narcissus and this tiny little Zoom square is my lake.”

I mean… I must make sure I don’t look weird…
