You might want to work on that. I had the same posture and I'm pretty sure it contributed (or was just a symptom of) weak glutes and hip muscles, which in turn contributed to inflexibility in my hamstrings.

Now, after having worked on strengthening my glutes and hip muscles, I sit like a true pro, I'm a lot more flexible and I am overall stronger. Good times all around.

I sit like that on or off camera. As long as the camera angles are good I'm good 🧚‍♀️

Came here to say this. If you put it close enough to your face and point the camera up a bit, no-one can tell your posture.

That said, I'm still waiting for the day when I can deep-fake myself on Zoom to have perfectly-combed hair, good posture, and a collared shirt like the boss requires even when I don't have perfectly-combed hair, good posture, and/or a collar. And even occasional blinks where the filter fails temporarily are a deal breaker. (Unless I can make the video just look like my internet is fucked and lagging rather than showing me with no filter. That'd be fine.)

Well soon we'll all be in the Vision Pro world and we'll be using avatars instead of cameras.

Oh man fix it up! I used to put one leg over the other and one day I sudenly stopped being able to move my right foot. Turns out I ruptured a nerve. Was a few months till I could move my foot again! That was one hell of a weird trip to the urgencies, the doctor thought I was having a stroke, I was inside all types of machines for a few hours till they figured it out!
