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.
