Best Practices
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 so
that the far site doesn't hear you 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.
