  7. At the beginning of a videoconference make sure that participants introduce themselves. It is often helpful to have a sign in the background that gives your location. Look directly at the camera as often as possible when speaking. Wear neutral, solid colors. Avoid checks and stripes. Avoid white and shades of red. Red is not codec-friendly. Bright fluorescent objects also cause halo effects and other distracting artifacts. Tricks Of The Trade

  8. Be natural, but try to minimize motion. Try to arrange a simple, uncluttered, static background in neutral or darker solid colors. Do not sit in front of windows. Tilt pictures, framed degrees, awards or any other glass-covered wall hanging downward to eliminate reflection and glare. Tricks Of The Trade

  9. Try to have direct light on the face of the person speaking. Too much light from behind causes silhouetting, too much from above causes shadows under the eyes. Avoid placing videoconferencing equipment in rooms prone to echo effects or exposed to outside noise. Eliminate in-room sources of extraneous noise. On multipoint video conferences mute your location when not speaking. Tricks Of The Trade

  10. Be aware of the transmission delay ... pause for others to comment. When asking questions in a group conference, direct the question to a specific individual if possible. Use a real or even a fake plant to humanize the setting. Tricks Of The Trade
