Good lighting There’s no point in having a video meeting if no one can see you! Make sure you are joining from a well-lit area. Camera position If using an external camera, position the camera centrally to where you will be facing. For any device with a built-in webcam, make sure to set the drive up with the camera centred on you. Quiet environment Have some common sense about where you decide to host or join a conference call. Find a nice quiet place so that other attendees can hear you clearly when it’s your turn to speak. During less than ideal situations, consider muting your microphone when not speaking. Use a headset This is the best way to ensure a clear audio experience for online meetings. Using a recommended headset will also help to eliminate annoying feedback and mic echo. Keep it professional Online meetings allow for much greater work flexibility. But your conferences will benefit from adherence to a standard of professionalism. Maintain your appearance and dress accordingly to encourage viewers to focus on what you are saying and not what you look like!
