Equipment Suggestions for Best Experience
- Device: Please use a laptop or desktop, not a mobile device or iPad.
- Power: Live streaming uses a lot of battery power, if you are on a laptop please ensure it is plugged into the power so that the battery does not run down during the webinar.
- Internet: WiFi is not always reliable and it can reduce the sound and picture quality. If you can, please plug your computer into the router.
- Audio/Microphone: Use an external microphone, one built into a wired headset or a lapel. We recommend you use AirPods or a headset with mic built in.
Setup Considerations
- Disturbances: Please ensure your phone and computer are both set to ‘Do Not Disturb’ to prevent notifications from social media and email coming through. And find a quiet space where you will not be disturbed for the duration of the webinar.
- Camera view: Set up your camera view so that you are looking straight into the camera lens, not looking up or down. If needs be you can prop up your laptop or monitor with books.
- Lighting: Situate yourself in a well lit room, or set up lights in such a way as not to create shadows.
- Connection: Close all windows and programs except for Zoom on your computer for better internet speeds.
