Can people see a posture corrector on Zoom?

A bulky cross-shoulder brace, yes. A small back-mounted sensor like the Upright GO, no — it sits below where the camera frames you. Soft elastic straps sit somewhere in between depending on shirt fit.

Do these things actually work?

Sensor-based trainers like the Upright GO have decent evidence for short-term posture awareness. Braces work mechanically while worn but don't "train" — take the brace off and posture returns. For lasting change, use the trainer.

Should I wear one all day?

No. Most guides recommend 30 minutes a day for the first week, scaling up to 1–2 hours. Continuous wear weakens the muscles you're trying to engage.
