Tips from Video Production Pros: Whether it’s Zoom, Skype, Google Hangouts or some other collaboration platform, these tips will make you look good on and off camera. Get the entire white paper here.
Connectivity: First and Foremost
Having a stable connection is key. No one likes to be on a “call” where everyone needs to repeat themselves.
Close all applications except the video conferencing app (Skype, Zoom, Google Hangouts, etc.)
Using a hard-wired connection to your router is preferable. Too many users on a WiFi connection can interrupt the signal and break up the video.
An upload and download speed of three Mbps (Mb per second) is required to support a stable stream. Check your internet speed here: http://speedtest.att.com/speedtest/
Setup: test and adjust as needed
Go to Audio & Video settings to see the video and adjust the shot.
Use the auto mic setting and test your audio before the video call.
Zoom: Click on “Test Meeting”
Skype: “Settings” > “Audio & Video Settings”
Google Hangouts: “Video Call” > “Settings Wheel”
