IMPROVE YOUR LIGHT, CAMERA, SOUND, BACKGROUND & ACTIONS
Because they all make you perfect
The following five suggestions will make you look like a news anchor every time you get in front of the camera.
Light up your meeting - if no-one can see you, you are not in attendance!
Your picture tells the story - make sure you look the part.

Your background needs to look clean and attractive.
Your actions trigger reactions - make sure they’re good ones.
Looking at the video above - how can make your presence more impactful?
Natural light gives the best lighting for a video meeting. A selfie ring is a great alternative.
Use an external camera at eye-level. It has a higher- quality picture and more flexibility to get the right angle.
Use headsets, they not only reduce surrounding noises, but most of them also have high quality, built-in mics.
Avoid busy settings and doorways in the background. This will minimize the chance of an unexpected entry such as this infamous one.
Be concise and speak in short sentences. Let people digest what you’ve said by adding pauses. Engage even if you aren’t talking - 93% of communication impact is nonverbal. Your body language and engagement plays a key role
