Introduction to Video Conferencing
Best Practice
A successful video conference provides
a face-to-face meeting, even if the
participants are miles or continents apart.
Keep in mind that it still is a meeting—
normal etiquette and dress code apply
even here.
•
Consider setting the unit to Automatic
Answer, but mute the microphone for
privacy reasons, if possible.
•
Do not forget to rehearse to the extent
needed.
•
Make sure that no obstacles block the
view to the microphone at all times.
•
Noise sources like computers placed
on the table should always be placed
away from the microphone of your unit.
The noise from such sources is often
perceived as surprisingly loud by the
remote participants.
•
Pay attention to the background your
system will provide to the remote
participants. If the camera captures
the corridor outside your office, people
passing by may distract your remote
participants. This applies as well to
curtains with a distinct texture pattern
and, in particular, to curtains moving due
to draft in the room.
•
If you are going to share content your
system will use two video streams (duo
video), one showing the presentation
and the other showing the presenter—
or the group of presenters. Smaller
systems may force viewers to choose
between showing the presentation or
the presenter.
•
For duo video some attention is needed.
Duo video is, on some video systems,
shown side–by–side with half the screen
showing the presentation and the other
half showing the presenter. To avoid
appearing like you are sitting with your
back towards the presentation look
straight into the camera.
