As someone taller than 6'1", I will say this advantage is, well, shrinking with the advent of WFH culture.
Multiple people have told me I surprise them with how tall I am when we finally meet in person, mostly because I keep my camera at the top of my computer, which gives a slightly down-leaning angle, as if they were looking down at me.
This could be used to a real advantage by putting the camera under the monitor. It's also not quite a flattering look so I avoid it, but I wonder if this is to my detriment...
Are you sure they're getting the idea that they can look down at you from the fact that your camera looks down on you from above your screen, as opposed to the fact that they themselves literally look down on you as you appear on their screen?
