While I have done plenty of video calls before staying at home guidelines, these have become much more common now.
And because of the current state of the world, you might be doing video calls with your boss, a potential client, your team or a job interview.
With all of that in mind, I want to share my top 5 tips and tricks to master video calls:
1️⃣ Join 10 minutes before meeting starts. This will give you enough time to download any plugins needed, test your audio and video, pick a good background. Mute all your other devices so you don’t get distracted.
2️⃣ Have all your files ready – you don’t want to be searching for stuff and switching screens when you are live.
3️⃣ Make sure your devices are fully charged, including your bluetooth headphones. Keep any wired headphones around just in case something fails.
4️⃣ Position your camera in a good angle. You want to look good and professional. If you are using your laptop camera, make sure that it is at your eye level.
5️⃣ Be Cool and Smile! Once everything is set, smile and don’t pay that much attention to it.
BONUS: make sure you are connected to a really good WiFi connection!!!
