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.

General

•

Consider setting the unit to Automatic

Answer, but mute the microphone for

privacy reasons, if possible.

•

Do not forget to rehearse "the noble

art of operating a video system" to the

extent needed.

In the meeting room

•

Make sure that you do not experience

obstacles blocking 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 draught 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.
