− | '''Control video and audio quality.'''
| |
− |
| |
− | Invest in a quality webcam and speaker and microphone headset. These provide better video and audio than your computer’s built-in system. Try to hold meetings in quiet, indoor locations to control ambient noise.

− | '''Adjust your lighting.'''
| |
− |
| |
− | Don’t sit directly in front or beside a bright light source, or else all the audience sees is a bright light and a shadowy figure. Experiment with moving lamps and your camera until you can see your brightly-lit face on the screen.

| |
− | '''Think about your background.'''
| |
− |
| |
− | Try to provide a nice, plain background. You can’t control everything in a mobile environment, but you should give some thought to background prior to your meeting.
