If you are using an external speaker or microphone, place it in front of
you, but far enough away from your computer to avoid picking up
background noise.
Position your camera either on or near your display, and center the
VidyoDesktop™ window underneath the camera. The camera should
broadcast you straight on so that you appear to be making direct eye
contact.
How to Get the Best VidyoConferencing Experience
 Use a wired network connection and disable wireless.
 Use the recommended audio/video devices to prevent echo.
 Plug each device into your computer’s USB ports rather than a
USB hub.
 If you are using a laptop, avoid running on battery.
 Set your computer’s Power Plan to “High Performance”.
 Make sure you have the latest drivers for the devices you use
during VidyoConferencing (camera, microphone, and so forth).
