Wear jewelry in moderation and leave off highly reflective or noisy jewelry. Make-up and hair styles for everyday wear are generally appropriate for videoconferencing, however, it is important to remember the camera may exaggerate extreme colors or features. Creating a presence which is felt by participants at remote locations requires attention to general demeanor and the subtle details of presentation. Facial expressions and slight gestures may not be as visible when transmitted electronically as they are to participants who are physically near. Keep the camera at a comfortable distance but close enough that participants can see facial expressions.
Serious expressions can come across as frowns.
Due to the slight delay in the transmission compressed video communication, quick movements may appear to the remote participants as a streak or waive. Technical difficulties can and will occur. If possible, place presentation materials on the web, or make other arrangements to get materials to distant participants. Keep a sense of humor when difficulties occur to help keep all participants relaxed. Generally people like to feel that they are a part of the group.
