Video Etiquette
Good video conferencing etiquette is really just common courtesy and respect for the people in your meeting. Read through these tips for successful conferencing.
• Introduce all conference participants when the meeting starts.
• Introduce yourself when you start speaking.
• Make sure that you can see and hear the far-site participants.
• Adjust your camera and microphone so that the far site can see and hear you.
• Place the microphone between the monitor and the people closest to the monitor.
• Avoid tapping on the microphone or rustling papers near the microphone.
• Mute the microphone before moving it so that the far site doesn’t hear you moving it.
• Speak in your normal voice without shouting.
