Video Call Tips

• Use good lighting. Experiment with a well-lit area in the background; however avoid having sunlight, a window or bright lights directly behind you. Adjust the camera settings to your setting.

• Dress for the part: Light pastels and muted colors generally provide the best contrast in front of most backgrounds and will look the best on the screen. Avoid wearing clothing with “busy” patterns such as small checks or narrow stripe as these create video break up spots.

• Audio Etiquette: The microphones are sensitive, so speak normally as if you were in the same room with the others in your video conference call.

• Make eye contact: Keep the camera angle as level as possible to make you appear natural for your viewers. Use natural hand gestures and body language when you speak.

• Consider your immediate environment. Try to have a neutral background and if possible remove anything that might distract the participants from your presentation.
