Zoom Tips
Zoom Participant / Presentation Tips
Test your video and audio before your meeting at zoom.us/test.
Join the meeting early to ensure everything is good to go, you can then step away from the computer to get yourself prepared.
Look at the camera. This takes a bit of getting used to since you want to look at the other participants faces, but try to look at the camera when you’re talking. This tactic will mimic the in-person feeling of eye contact.
When possible, try to use a good quality camera and headset instead of your computer’s built-in ones. A corded headset works best but even Apple air pods offer better quality then your built-in mic but remember to charge them! Zoom works just fine with the built-ins, but the quality is even sharper with higher quality hardware.
Adjust your camera if it is too low or high. Your camera should be at eye level.
Lights, camera, action! Note, the first item here is LIGHTS. Position yourself so that most of the light is coming from in front of you (behind your monitor), instead of behind you. If you have a window behind you, shut the blinds. Otherwise, you will be backlit.
If you can, connect to the internet via an ethernet cable. Zoom works well on wireless all the way down to 3G, but the quality is best on a solid wired internet connection, so wire in when you can. Otherwise, just make sure you have serviceable Wi-Fi.
Don’t get too close. Position yourself so the camera is seeing you from the chest or waist up, instead of just seeing your face. This is more natural for the viewer (after all, in an in-person meeting you’re usually seeing more of a person than just their face). This is especially beneficial if you tend to gesture a lot.
Your best teacher is yourself. Record yourself and watch the playback with a critical eye. Did you talk too quickly? Too many ums and ahs? Even send the recording to a friend who you know will give you candid feedback.
