# Best practices for remote speakers

#### Environnement

- Choose a closed and noise free environment
- <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Wired network connection</span> is highly recommended
- Suspend all devices and applications that could be audible or visible during your intervention.Suspendre tous les appareils et applications qui pourraient être audibles ou visibles durant l'intervention
- If possible, test the connection from the same location and condition days prior to the event.

#### Image

<p class="callout warning">Don't disable your webcam during the minutes prior and after your intervention</p>

- Blurred background is usually the only way to have a colored and constrasted background that hasn't a "fake" aspect. With this image becomes more "premium".
- You will want the webcam to be just above your eye-line, almost directly in front of your forehead and then tilt downwards.If you have a built-in webcam place your laptop on top of something (books, a standing desk, etc.) to get the webcam to the level of your forehead.

- Adjust frame: eye-line needs to be at one third of the frame top. Center your face horizontally.

#### Lighting

- Light needs to come from upper front.
- Prefer a large surface light source. Window is better than desk light.
- Avoid mixing two kind of sources (natural light + artificial light)

#### Audio

<p class="callout warning">If you want to mute your microphone do it from the meeting application (Teams, Zoom) and make sure to unmute before your intervention</p>

You will have a better audio quality with one of the following setup:

- Computer built-in mic/speaker - only for a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">perfectly silent</span> environment
- Earphone with microphone - for uncertain environment
- Headset with boom pole microphone - for noisy environnement

#### Screen sharing

<p class="callout warning">To avoid any issue we invite you to test screen sharing 10 minute prior to event start time.</p>
