Basic tips for great video conferences
Use the following basic tips and guidelines to enhance or improve your experiences during video
conferences.
● Mount and position the camera so that your eyes are level with the top third of your screen and
your face appears in the middle area of the video stream.
● Avoid wearing bright colors, all-light or all-dark clothing, or very busy patterns like small checks or
narrow stripes. Light pastels and muted colors look the best on the screen.
● Preview your video stream before you join a meeting to make sure that you don’t have shadows
on your face and that your camera settings are configured correctly.
● Speak in your normal voice.
Advanced tips for great video conferences
Use the following basic tips and guidelines to enhance or improve your experiences during video
conferences.
Camera and People Positioning
● Try not to fidget too much, especially if you’re the only one on camera.
● Include all the people in the room (if possible), or introduce everyone in the room at the beginning
of a meeting.
6
Chapter 2Getting started
● Keep the view focused on people and not the background or room furnishings.
● In an office, position the monitor to an appropriate angle to avoid capturing potential distractions
in your video (for example, other people, pets, or TVs).
Clothing, Furnishings, and Backgrounds
● To avoid disruptions, exclude the following from the camera view: light sources, tables, chairs,
walls, busy decorations, and the floor.
● To avoid funny effects, wear clothes that contrast with the background instead of blending into it
and make sure nothing in the background seems to stick out of anyone’s head.
● Avoid glossy tabletops, strong colors, or bold wood grain in the room. The best table surface color
is a flat satin finish in neutral gray.
● A wall that’s painted light gray with a touch of blue works best as a background. Video
conferencing systems use a gray or blue reference image to process the video, so a background
in that color helps to enhance the video you send.
● Try to keep dry-erase whiteboards out of the camera field of view. Be aware that other people in
the meeting might see what’s written on the whiteboards.
Lighting
● Close any curtains, drapes, or blinds over your windows. Daylight is a variable light source and
can conflict with interior room lighting.
● Bright lighting increases the range of in-focus objects, but inappropriate direct lighting might make
you look harsh or somber. Poly recommends using indirect fluorescent lighting in a midrange,
neutral color temperature (3600 K to 4500 K). You can find the color temperature of your lighting
on the packaging.
Audio and Noise
● Mute your audio when you’re silent or before you move your audio device.
● Keep your windows and doors closed to minimize unwanted noises.
● Close any drapes or blinds over your windows. The glass from windowpanes can cause issues
with acoustics due to reflection.
