Video Call Tips
• Use good lighting. Experiment with a well-lit area in the
background; however avoid having sunlight, a window or
bright lights directly behind you. Adjust the camera settings
to your setting.
• Dress for the part: Light pastels and muted colors generally
provide the best contrast in front of most backgrounds and
will look the best on the screen. Avoid wearing clothing with
“busy” patterns such as small checks or narrow stripe as
these create video break up spots.
• Audio Etiquette: The microphones are sensitive, so speak
normally as if you were in the same room with the others in
your video conference call.
• Make eye contact: Keep the camera angle as level as
possible to make you appear natural for your viewers. Use
natural hand gestures and body language when you speak.
• Consider your immediate environment. Try to have a neutral
background and if possible remove anything that might
distract the participants from your presentation.
