We’re living in a grand, unplanned experiment where we all need to conduct business without direct human contact. Below are six tips to help you present well virtually.
ENSURE TECHNOLOGY WORKS CORRECTLY
Whether you’re using Zoom or Skype, thoroughly test that your technology works correctly before starting the conversation. Conduct a video and audio test well in advance of the meeting. Taking that extra time to learn will do wonders with conducting a seamless meeting.
WEAR NEUTRAL CLOTHING
Cameras aren’t a fan of small, busy patterns on clothing. Wear neutral clothes like blues and grays to help keep your guests focused on you.
FRAME THE CAMERA CORRECTLY
Present yourself well on screen by being eye level with the camera lens, raising your laptop on a box if needed, centering yourself in the frame, and minimizing potential distractions in the background.
HAVE THE RIGHT LIGHT
Better control the brightness of your video by eliminating strong background light and closing shades. Light yourself from the front, if possible. Natural lighting tends to work best, but keep experimenting for what’s best for you.
