Tips and Tricks
●Make sure you know the name or number of the
site you want to call.
●Connect and test any additional equipment
before the meeting.
●Avoid wearing bright colors, all-light or all-dark
clothing, or “busy” patterns. Light pastels and
muted colors look the best on the screen.
●Adjust your camera so that the far site can see
you. Fill the screen with people rather than with
the table, chairs, walls, lights, or floor.
●Adjust your microphone so that the far site can
hear you. Mute the microphone before moving it.
●Make sure that you can see and hear the far-site
participants.
●Introduce all participants when the meeting starts.
Speak in your normal voice without shouting. Use
natural gestures when you speak.
●Don’t tap on the microphone or rustle papers near
the microphone. In a multipoint call, mute your
microphone when you are not speaking.
