Yep, for most webcams it's probably better to sit back a bit to minimize the wide-angle fun house/fisheye effect. Also, your mug should be front-lit, so most of the lighting should be coming from behind the camera, not "into" the camera from behind you (back & side lighting = bad in most cases). Try not to be front-lit from your monitor either, as you can look blue-ish/washed-out with horrible color rendition. Maybe turn down the brightness a bit on it. You might try setting up the cam in front of that window so it lights you from the front with natural light. Experiment with stills like the one you took above before go-time. Good luck.
