Good video conferencing etiquette is really just
common courtesy and respect for the people in your
meeting. Read through these tips for successful
conferencing.
• Introduce all conference participants when the
meeting starts.
• Introduce yourself when you start speaking.
• Make sure that you can see and hear the far-site
participants.
• Adjust your camera and microphone so that the far
site can see and hear you.
• Place the microphone between the monitor and
the people closest to the monitor.
• Avoid tapping on the microphone or rustling
papers near the microphone.
• Mute the microphone before moving it so that the
far site doesn’t hear you moving it.
• Speak in your normal voice without shouting.
• In a multipoint call, mute your microphone when
you are not speaking.
