Web Conferencing Tip: Maintain Eye Contact

If you decide to utilize a webcam during your web conference, make sure to maintain frequent eye contact with the camera. By doing so, you will allow your remote audience to feel more like a part of the meeting, as it seems as if you are now talking directly to them. If you are not using a webcam, some services allow you to upload a JPEG of yourself. While your speaker photo may not update like video, it will still help the audience connect with you, while using less bandwidth.
