Tips for Networking on ZOOM |
- If you’re new to the Zoom platform, maybe setup a practice meeting with colleagues, friends or family. A little practice can’t hurt
- Camera angle at eye-level, and light source facing you can make a world of difference
- Earbuds used for music are ideal for audio during ZOOM meetings. You likely own a quality pair already. Bluetooth connect and go!
- Your built-in mic may be adequate, or upgrade to a plug-in "shotgun" mic (check Amazon)
