Proper v-etiquette During Video Conferencing (Multi-Point)
- Before conference begins, hand out v-etiquette papers and discuss each
item.
- When the conference begins, have each site introduce the
participants
- Remote sites should mute their microphones
- Do not speak until properly addressed
- Reduce or eliminate any background noise (i.e.fans, shuffling
papers, turn cell phones to vibrate, etc.)
- When speaking look into the appropriate camera and speak clearly, do
not shout
- Have an agenda and stick to it
- Appoint a meeting facilitator, he or she would be responsible for
muting and un-muting the microphone and changing camera angles
- After addressing the audience, allow time for remote sites to
respond one at a time
- Based on the size of the audience, have a seating arrangement in
mind before the conference begins. (i.e., auditorium seating, town
hall, horseshoe table, etc.) This way the camera presets can be made
ahead of time.
- For multipoint conferences have a sign identifying your
campus/location
- Assume you are always on camera, even when you are not speaking
- Wear conservative clothing such as blue or black; avoid white, red,
or patterns such as plaids and stripes. This can be too “busy” for
the camera
- Be yourself. Try to create a comfortable atmosphere
- Have the phone number for the campus AV department in the event
support is needed.
