Videoconferencing Tips

Once you start videoconferencing, youÕll see that a videoconference meeting is a
lot like a regular meeting. You can just talk with the other people in the meeting,
without spending much time dealing with the equipment.
If, however, you want to take a few minutes to learn some tips about
videoconferencing, read this section. It provides ideas on how to make your
videoconferencing even better than it already is.

Tips for Great Video

Your Concorde 4500 videoconferencing system provides you with great video. To
get the best video quality possible, follow these tips:
If possible, equip the room with indirect ßuorescent lighting. Indirect lighting
minimizes shadows, and ßuorescent lighting provides the truest skin tones on
the screen.
If there are windows in the conference room, add curtains, drapes, or blinds,
and close them. Daylight is a variable light source and can conßict with your
interior room lighting.
Use natural gestures when you speak, but try to avoid too much movement,
such as swiveling in your chair or twirling your pen.
Try to wear both light and dark clothing. Wearing all-light or all-dark clothing
can trick the cameraÕs automatic brightness control.
Avoid very ÒbusyÓ patterns on clothing, such as small checks or narrow
stripes. These can cause distracting visual effects on the screen.
Avoid bright colors. Light pastels and muted colors look better on the screen
than very intense colors or bright white.
