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.
●Adjust your camera so that the far end can see
you. Fill the screen with people rather than the
table, chairs, walls, lights, or floor.
●Make sure that you can see and hear the far-end
participants.
●Introduce all participants when the meeting starts.
●Speak in your normal voice without shouting. Use
natural gestures when you speak.
●Do not tap on the microphone or rustle papers
near the microphone. Mute the microphone
before moving it. In a multipoint call, mute your
microphone when you are not speaking.
