Recommendations

A little attention to the environment from which a remote participant joins can have a great impact on the quality of the meeting experience for all. You may want to pass these recommendations along with meeting invites for large meetings, or more formal meetings such as job interviews:

  • Ensure lighting is sufficient to see the participant's face. Avoid back-lit situations that silhouette the participant. 
  • Minimize ambient noise. Noise such as extraneous conversations, or ventilation systems are often amplified to the other meeting participants.
  • If a quite environment is not available, use a headset with a earphones and a microphone.
  • Use a microphone with a mute or push-to-talk feature to minimize background noise. Alternatively, use the computer's mute feature when you are not addressing the meeting.
  • Eliminates distracting movement or activities from the background, such as pets, or busy public areas.

Advance Invitations

Be sure remote participants receive an invitation with connection details with sufficient time to verify connections. For most meeting spaces, they can test their connection independently, at their leisure. 


Test In Advance

For very important meetings, arrange a test session with remote participants to confirm they have no problems.
