Seven Tips for Presenting on Camera for a Webcast

How to present on a webcast:

1. Please join the meeting 30 minutes early, using a computer with a hardwired internet connection. (Wireless connections are often less reliable with the potential for greater lag times, particularly with video/web cams.)
   
   
2. Always present from a seated position, in a comfortable chair where you can maintain good posture.
   
   
3. Set the camera so your head appears centered on the screen, about two-thirds of the way up in your frame.
   
   
4. Minimize sun exposure in your camera frame because sun direction and strength may change during the meeting. Make sure you are well-lit from electric light source.
   
   
5. Close all other computer applications for the duration of the virtual meeting.
   
   
6. Prep a quiet space for the webinar. Make sure your set background is neat and tidy.
   
   
7. Review the meeting playbook—including the agenda, supporting materials, what to do if there’s a technical glitch, how to manage questions.
