VIDEO CONFERENCING TIPS

Video Conferencing Tips

Read through these quick tips for ideas on how to optimize your video conferencing experience.

Tips for Great Video

Avoid wearing bright colors, all-light or all-dark clothing, or very “busy” patterns (such as small checks or narrow stripes). Light pastels and muted colors look the best on the screen.

If there are windows in the room, close any drapes or blinds. Daylight is a variable light source and can conflict with interior room lighting.

Use natural gestures when you speak.

When adjusting your camera, try to fill the screen as much as possible with people rather than with the table, chairs, walls, or the floor.

Tips for Great Audio

Speak in your normal voice without shouting.

Ask the people at the other site if they can hear you. Have them introduce themselves so you can be sure that you can hear them.

Since the audio has a very slight delay, you may want to pause briefly for others to answer you or to make comments.

As with any call, try to limit side conversations.
