Here are a few tips & tricks for video call etiquette, general rules of courtesy, and best practices for virtual presentation & communication.

A quality Experience is inspiring and creates positive word of mouth offline & online with reviews. So, let’s break down a few ideas to create a high quality Online Experience for people seeking unique things to do.

Best Practices for Video Call Etiquette & Presentation:

• Plan to arrive early. Come prepared, be organized, and start on time.
• Test your video and audio before go-time:
  • zoom.us/test
  • follow these steps to check your video and audio on Google Meets
• Position yourself so that most of the light is coming from in front of you (behind your monitor), instead of behind you.
• Clean up and have an intentional background. Consider the environment & ambience you want to create for your unique experience.
• Stand up. This keeps you dynamic & energetic.
• Don’t get too close. Position yourself at a distance where the camera is seeing you from the chest or waist up. If you speak with your hands, that universal language known as body language, leave space from the camera for gesturing.
• Hold space. Don’t be afraid to sit in the silence for a moment to account for any delay in video or audio. It also gives people the space to feel out the virtual room to decide when to jump in with their opinion or perspective.
• Create opportunities for engagement:
  • Screen share
  • Annotate shared content
  • Send out a quick poll
  • Solicit feedback in the chat
  • Split your participants up into video breakout rooms
  • Send ’em to a website
  • Have them fill out a Google Doc
  • By the way, you can tell if everyone is actively engaged with the Zoom attendee attention tracking feature.
• Look at the camera. Your eye contact creates an immersive experience like you’re talking directly to us.
