Tips for Great Video

Read through these quick tips for ideas on how to optimize your
collaboration experience. You'll find general tips for a better
meeting, as well as simple suggestions for improving video and
audio quality, and for sharing documents.
Make sure you have the video number(s) of the site you
want to call or that the site is listed in a Directory.
Set your camera presets before you start your call so that
you can quickly use them during the call. (You can set up to
nine near-end and nine far-end presets.)
Add peripherals to your system to expand its use. For
example, you can add a VCR if you want to show a
videotape, or you can connect a laptop or desktop PC if you
want to share data. Use the ImageShare or ImageShare II
device to easily attach your laptop or desktop PC.
Avoid wearing bright colors, all-light or all-dark clothing, or
very "busy" patterns (such as small checks or narrow
stripes). Light pastels and muted colors look the best on the
screen.
If there are windows in the room, close any drapes or
blinds. Daylight is a variable light source and can conflict
with interior room lighting.
Use natural gestures when you speak.
When adjusting your cameras during the meeting, try to fill
the screen as much as possible with people rather than with
the table, chairs, walls, or the floor.
