Online class & meetings
Teaching online for two hours a day is a different problem from making one good video. The setup has to be fast to start, comfortable to sit at, and identical every single day.
Raise the camera to your eyes
A laptop camera films up your chin and makes you look disengaged. Bringing the lens to eye level is the single change that makes an online teacher look present.
Build a setup you never adjust
If your setup takes five minutes to assemble, you will stop using it by week two. A permanent desk stand and a plugged-in light mean you sit down and start.
Distance is the enemy of clarity
A laptop microphone is an arm's length away and picks up typing and fans. Anything closer to your mouth is better, and a clip-on is best.

Common questions
I teach from a phone. What do I need?
A desk stand that puts the phone at eye level and a mains light. The DT-100 and Live-E11 together cover both, permanently.
How do I show a book or notebook on camera?
The DT-100's dovetail arm holds a second phone overhead pointing down, which gives you a document camera without buying one.
Does lighting really matter for a class?
Yes, but differently — you need consistency more than beauty. A plugged-in light that looks the same every day is worth more than a brighter one you have to recharge.
