- Please do a sound check prior to access sessions.
- Turn off all notifications on your computer to avoid distractions.
- Test the lighting in your video, make certain you are front facing the light to ensure the audience can see you clearly which will reduce any shadows. Note: If you have a window behind you, please close the shades to prevent any glare.
