Questions, answered
How do I keep cables accessible but hidden?
Use snap-open raceways rather than sealed ones, and keep the cable box lid removable without tools. Hidden does not have to mean sealed; the best setups open in seconds.
What about cables I plug and unplug daily?
Give them a dedicated home: a short sleeved run to a fixed spot on the desk. Daily-use cables should have a designed path, not dangle wherever they land.
Does cable management matter for video calls?
Yes. Your background is your professional image on every call, and visible cable nests read as disorganization. The camera sees what you stop noticing.
