• If you haven't joined a Zoom meeting before allow yourself between 5-10 minutes to connect.
• Make sure the physical space you are in has adequate lighting, a well lit office space should be sufficient.
• Spend some time testing your video and audio settings and resolve any issues before the meeting start time.
• Use a good quality headset with an integrated microphone to eliminate potential audio issues or feedback (that screeching sound) in the meeting.
• Minimise potential distractions such as glare, uneven lighting, background noises and potential interruptions.
• If you are going to share content during the meeting, make sure your presentation/materials are ready. Test the Share function before the meeting starts.
• Have the video meeting organiser's contact details close at hand, in case you need to contact him/her to let them know you are having trouble connecting to the call or that you are having technical issues.

• Do an audio check as soon as you connect to the meeting and ensure that the other participants can hear you.
• Speak in a normal voice directly into your microphone - you shouldn't have to shout. Avoid turning your head from side to side while talking, as your voice may fade in/out.
• If wearing a headset, avoid having mouthpiece too close to your mouth, as this will send heavy breathing sounds to the other attendees.
• When starting to talk avoid asking "Can you hear me?" Assume everything is working fine - someone will let you know if something is wrong.
• Be natural on camera, but limit excess movement. If you walk around while speaking, remain in a small area and walk slowly.
• Remember, if you have your video enabled the other attendees will see everything you do during the call, and everything that happens around you will be seen in the meeting.

• When not speaking, mute your microphone via the mute button in Zoom. This keeps background noises to a minimum; a 'must' during Zoom meetings.
• Video conferencing sometimes involves a slight delay in signals being sent and received. If you interrupt a speaker to add something, or ask a question, they may not hear you instantly, resulting in a disjointed break in the meeting.
• In a larger meeting, the best idea when needing to interrupt a speaker is to:
  • Use the "Raise your hand" feature
  • Use the chat channel to indicate you'd like to speak.
  • Use the Q&A function, to get the presenters attention
• Direct your questions to a specific site, and preferably a specific person. Expect a few extra seconds of delay in getting an answer, because of the technology and distance involved (at minimum, give the other person time to unmute their microphone).
• Avoid "side conversations" when your microphone is on, and try not to rustle papers or make tapping sounds near the microphone. These can be heard by the other attendees, and will be distracting.
• When video conferencing with multiple sites, start by saying your name and location (for example, "This is Eddie at UniSC"). This helps other sites identify who is speaking before the video catches up to show the person currently talking.
