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.

'''Think about your background.'''

Try to provide a nice, plain background~~. If your treadmill is in your office and you use it more as a place to hang laundry, that’s not really the best visual for your audience~~. You can’t control everything in a mobile environment, but you should give some thought to background prior to your meeting.
