Tips and Tricks

Make sure you know the name or number of the site you want to call.

Connect and test any additional equipment before the meeting.

Avoid wearing bright colors, all-light or all-dark clothing, or “busy” patterns. Light pastels and muted colors look the best on the screen.

Adjust your camera so that the far site can see you. Fill the screen with people rather than with the table, chairs, walls, lights, or floor.

Adjust your microphone so that the far site can hear you. Mute the microphone before moving it so that the far site doesn't hear you moving it.

Make sure that you can see and hear the far-site participants.

Introduce all participants when the meeting starts.

Speak in your normal voice without shouting. Use natural gestures when you speak.

Don’t tap on the microphone or rustle papers near the microphone. In a multipoint call, mute your microphone when you are not speaking.
