Dominic Regan presents a Zoomer’s dozen for a polished videoconferencing performance
- A cut out and keep guide for making successful video calls.
- This is no time to be fashionably late.
Lawyers are amazingly adaptable. At the beginning of this month, I was due to chair a full day conference on the law of costs. It was decided to shift the event online. Not a single delegate cancelled, the show went ahead and we had a great day.
I presented the first two LexisNexis webinars and have since fronted more than 400 podcasts and webinars. The former is audio only while the latter combines sound and vision.
Here are a few suggestions based on bitter experience.
- Make yourself comfortable in front of your screen or phone. It is horribly distracting to watch someone bobbing around, so get a seat with cushions if necessary. If on camera, make sure that your head is clearly visible.
- Audio is forgiving but you do not want interference. With Zoom, turn off
