Best practices for remote speakers

Environnement 

 

 Choose a closed and noise free environment 

 Wired network connection 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. Perform a test call with Microsoft Teams ; perform a test call from Zoom Meeting 

 

 Image 

 Don't disable your webcam during the minutes prior and after your intervention 

 

 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 

 If you want to mute your microphone do it from the meeting application (Teams, Zoom) and make sure to unmute before your intervention 

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

 

 Computer built-in mic/speaker - only for a perfectly silent environment 

 Earphone with microphone - for uncertain environment 

 Headset with boom pole microphone - for noisy environnement 

 

 Screen sharing 

 To avoid any issue we invite you to test screen sharing 10 minute prior to event start time.
