Tips for Presenters

Look into the camera, rather than the monitor, when speaking to remote sites. If not, it may appear on their monitor that you are looking above, below or to the side.

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 camera's automatic brightness control. Avoid very "busy" 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. Keep jewelry to a minimum.

Don't place papers or objects on in the way of the microphone. Don't rustle papers or tap on the microphone. If possible, ask frequent questions of all sites to make everyone feel involved in the session.

Organize materials in advance. Have all handouts delivered to all sites prior to the conference. Paper copies for the document camera work better than transparencies. Use at least 16 or 18 point bold typeface in landscape mode for camera documents. If you plan on broadcasting a videotape presentation, preview it first over a videoconferencing system. Some videotapes do not lend themselves well to this type of broadcasting, primarily due to the amount of movement recorded.
