bullet Technology Tips for a Successful Video Conference

 

• Know how to operate all of your equipment before your video conference begins. This includes your Codec, Video Projector and wireless Microphones.

• Have technical help standing by.

• Have your party’s telephone number in case problems arise.

• Do a test call 30 - 45 minutes before your event with someone outside of your network to verify incoming and outgoing audio and video.

• Know how to mute your codec with the remote. You will most likely be asked to do this throughout the program.

• Don’t assume the equipment will work just because you have used it a month ago. Things do go wrong and electronics do fail. It is better to find out before you have a classroom full of disappointed students waiting to go on a virtual field trip.
