Web Conferencing Tip: Use a Headset

Posted by Amit Rathee on Wed, Dec 17, 2014 @ 09:57 AM

However, especially in noisier office environments the use of a headset with microphone that plugs into your phone or computer if using VoIP, provides better audio quality along with some other great benefits. These benefits include but are not limited to being able to keep your conversation private, while also keeping unncessary sounds like a speakerphone echo effect at bay.

Web Conferencing Tip: Practice with Two Computers

Posted by Amit Rathee on Tue, Nov 11, 2014 @ 08:09 AM
When preparing for a web conference, it is suggested that the presenter utilize two computers for a practice session. By doing so, the presenter will be able to log in on one computer as the moderator and on another computer as a participant. As the presenter works his/her way through the presentation, they can look at the participant computer to see what the particpants would be seeing for the live session. If you do not have two computers available to you, try using a dual monitor display and two different web browsers to achieve a similar result.

Web Conferencing Tip: Keep Camera Positions Ideal

Posted by Amit Rathee on Wed, Apr 30, 2014 @ 12:45 PM
Regardless of whether you're connecting to your web conference from a your office, home or on the road, it is very important to take into account the positioning of your webcam. For example, it may be that your work desk setup is slightly better suited for multitasking projects than for conferencing and will need to be tweaked. Make sure to preview your own webcam output to  make sure that you're at just the right distance from the camera so that you do not appear too relaxed or stiff. Lastly, avoid pointing the camera at a direct light source such as a window or lamp, as this can cause the webcam to overcompensate and whiteout the video.

Web Conferencing Tip: Manage Bandwidth

Posted by Amit Rathee on Tue, Apr 15, 2014 @ 03:48 PM


It is important to remember that the bandwidth of your Internet Service Provider determines the overall quality of the web conference communication. As such, make sure to exit from your email client, instant messaging service, extra browser tabs and anything else that accesses the Internet and could potentially slow your connection. Next, try to use a computer with a wired connection instead of wireless. This will help to ensure that you are not losing valuable bandwidth. Lastly, as with most offices you likely share your web access with coworkers.

In order to avoid audio feedback during your web conference, adjust the position of your microphone and headphones/speakers to get the best sound.

Web Conferencing Tip: Start Small

Posted by Amit Rathee on Wed, Feb 26, 2014 @ 11:56 AM
When you throw a long, involved question at your audience from the start, it is going to take them much longer to become familiar with the chat feature. Instead, ask something simple and short at the beginning of your web conference, such as their names or where they are from. This allows your audience to find the chat box, learn how to use it and practice responding before you require them to create a longer, more involved answer. Lastly, you should also recognize at least a few of the responses verbally so you can show your audience you are really reading what they write.

Web Conferencing Tip: Put a Limit on Presenters

Posted by Amit Rathee on Tue, Nov 26, 2013 @ 11:07 AM
When you have more than several people on a web conference, it is easy for multiple people to want to share their ideas, push slides and speak at the same time.

Posted by Amit Rathee on Thu, Oct 17, 2013 @ 11:52 AM

This particular web conferencing tip applies to you regardless if you're a moderator or a participant. When conducting or participating in a web conference, your location and environment are key.
