Você está lutando para causar uma boa impressão em videoconferências. O que você está fazendo de errado?

Check Your Tech: 1. Internet Connection: - Ensure a reliable and high-speed internet connection for smooth communication. 2. Audio Quality: - Use a quality microphone, minimize background noise, and consider headphones for clearer audio. 3. Camera Positioning: - Position the camera at eye level for a clear and focused view. 4. Lighting: - Use natural or well-positioned artificial light to avoid shadows. 5. Background Noise: - Choose a quiet space for calls and use noise-canceling features if necessary.

Login at least 5 minutes earlier to ensure: 1. Your background and lights are perfect 2. Take care of your camera angle + mic distance (you don't want to sound like Daffy duck) 3. Ensure you have a backup for battery, electricity and internet issues 4. Turn off all irrelevant tabs on your laptop 5. Don't multi-task during video conferences (no matter how smartly you do it, people will get to know) 6. Make it a habit to keep your camera on so organizers and attendees feel comfortable( nobody likes talking to the walls) 7. Only turn on your mic when it's your turn to speak 8. Nod or smile to ensure you are actively listening 9. Please make video conferences fun through quick interesting activities to keep humans active 😊

Prepare, prepare, prepare! In my experience recruiting graduates using virtual assessment centres over the last 3 years, those that do well are the ones who take a video interview seriously and ensure they are well prepared. Those who think they can wing it and don't prepare adequately always fall short.

Tenho atuado com o modelo home-office desde o início do ano de 2020 e, com a chegada das entrevistas online forçadas, percebo que as pessoas têm confundido a comodidade com desleixo. Por isso trago essas dicas para um bate-papo de sucesso, teste a sua conexão com a internet, mas também o seu fone de ouvido e a câmera do computador ou celular, busque um lugar calmo e silencioso para realizar a entrevista de forma tranquila e principalmente se prepare, pois esse é o seu momento de mostrar seus atributos e habilidades para a vaga. Outro ponto importante é nunca fazer entrevistas no trânsito e mantenha a postura, pois a primeira impressão é a que fica em um processo de avaliação.

It is really, truly important that young children do not get electrocuted, which unfortunately could happen. To make sure that electrocution does not happen, one must be fully present in the situation and always be on the ready to use one’s right hand when pulling out an electronic cord because one’s heart is always placed on one’s left hand side underneath the sternum. Granted, should you feel a shock, you could just congratulate yourself into thinking you’re Benjamin Franklin and then further pursue life and peace, if possible, by enjoying a nice cup of 🍵.

Keep your background simple and clean. The focus must be on you, not your favorite framed picture in the background which is only partially seen and oriented a bit crookedly. Whatever your location, it must be tidy. You can consider blurring your background which often works quite well. If you choose ready-made virtual backgrounds, select something appropriate. Don't have pets or people walking in and out. Ensure that your location is quiet and private and, perhaps most importantly, is a place where you feel comfortable and confident.

Keep your background as simple as possible, and ensure that there are no distractions behind. If you need to use a virtual background, keep it professional. Use warm, calm visually appealing background images.

Location, location, location...I've joined sessions which were hosted in laundry rooms, middle of the gym etc etc. It is disrespectful to your audience. Select a professional area, and if you are working from an open-plan area, reduce the background distractions.

Choose Your Location: 1. Background Distractions: - Opt for a clean, neutral background or use virtual backgrounds. 2. Privacy Concerns: - Choose a private, professional location for video calls to maintain confidentiality. 3. Seating Arrangement: - Sit in a well-supported, comfortable chair with good posture. 4. Attire: - Dress appropriately for the meeting, presenting a polished and professional appearance. 5. Camera Presence: - Maintain eye contact by looking directly at the camera, minimizing distractions.

Virtual backgrounds are great to reflect one’s personality and emotional state. Make sure to select them with your audience in mind. Busy pictures will distract the audience, strong colors might impact the quality of your own image, etc. In the worst case, prefer neutral, neat, light backgrounds with perspective and harmonious shapes. I mean, office

Dressing up is a sign of good manners. Even if you are connecting with someone in a professional setup virtually, it’s important to dress the part. This is basic etiquette you need to follow. There is no better way than dressing well to make a great first impression. Follow the formal dressing guidelines and adhere to it. Define your personal style as well, and enhance it as you go along.

Having experienced the Covid Era, where remote work became the norm for over two years, many of us embraced a more casual approach to attire. However, it is advisable to opt for formal or confidence-boosting attire during video conferencing to convey professionalism and enhance the quality of communication.

Avoid patterned clothes as they can create visual disruption; block coloured clothes work best. Remember that you can afford to be brighter on camera than you might be in real life, for example, you can afford to wear more make up and bolder clothes as the camera can "wash" these out.

Always dress professional Solid colors are less distracting Be comfortable and you will feel more comfortable in the meeting.

"Como te ven, te tratan" Esta expresión se refiere a que que tu vestimenta te dará un lugar respecto a tu público. Si vas a hacer una presentación empresarial, de temas técnicos, es importante vistas formalmente. (Tip. Un pin en el saco puede darte una distinción sobre el público que te oye.) Si tu presentación fuese la inauguración de una mañana deportiva, ir de forma elegante generará un contraste con la ocasión, puedes optar por una vestimenta casual, polo pique, pantalón Drill. Aquí el punto no es mi descripción como tal, sino hacerte ver que cada ocasión tiene un tenor y dinámica distinta que amerita o no llevar una vestimenta u otra. Se observador, y pregunta lo suficiente como para entender el contexto en el que darás tu discurso.

Stay focus, and smile. These 2 attitudes are increasingly powerful. When the only part of your body visible to your virtual stakeholders is your face, it matters to use it to one’s advantage. Smile brings positivity even through the camera, and brings a sense of comfort for everyone attending the call. Focus makes people feel connected. Even if you type or write, make sure to eye contact with the camera lens, node to the speaker, and express interest. Let’s enjoy #remotework

Ignore this section completely. Statistically a large part of your team cannot read body language or “implied” meanings. The Neurodivergent community will often do the actions of what they’ve observed: smile, nod, provide eye contact only because society has dictated these actions as being required to seem engaged. I’m an Autistic leader in the tech space. If you want my attention to your details, you’ll most likely find me rocking, taking notes, focusing elsewhere for my full engagement. If you’re demanding my eye contact and expecting socially acceptable facial expressions, (smiles, nods, etc), I’ll instead be hyperfocused on whether I am “masking” enough to appease you, and not retain the information being conveyed.

In my experience, I tend to stay engaged longer when individuals use their hands in person and online. When framing yourself in the camera’s perspective, make sure that your hands are visible in front of you and use them when you speak. Make sure to use hand gestures appropriately and to not overdo it.

We often overlook the physiological part of communication which results in a lack of rapport. Since we believe nobody can watch our hand movement so we can easily switch between tabs on screen and even use social media or text during virtual meetings. We need to be mindful of the fact that our pupils indicate lack of attention. Research also proves that multi-tasking leads to reduced listening abilities resulting in communication gap. Our mind and body should be in sync while we are in a virtual meeting if we want meetings to be effective.

It may feel awkward, but try to avoid talking to your screen! The people on the other end want to have that eye contact with you and the best way to achieve that is look into your camera lens instead. Keep the smile on, when appropriate, and try repeating the question as the form of your answer. Those basic strategies in this day of Zoom calls should help to make that connection that makes you stand out.

First, you need a good understanding of your audience. This will enable you to prepare your presentation in a manner that your audience will understand. Also, your presentation must meet a need of the audience so you don’t end up just speaking to yourself. Lastly, confidence cannot be overemphasized , you must be present with confidence and charisma.

1. Vocal modulation keeps our listeners engaged. 2. Speaking with confidence and professionalism helps establish credibility and keeps the conversation flowing smoothly. 3. Hold your horses , speaking at a slow pace allows your audience to process what you're saying and follow along with the conversation. Vocal modulation + confidence + slow pace can ensure that your message is heard loud and clear.

In a dialogue, such as a video interview, make sure you listen at least as much as you talk, and avoid interrupting. In a video conversation it can be more difficult to pick up queues such as whether the person you are talking to has lost your train of thought, is bored, or doesn't like something you said. A lot of the body language is lost too. To counteract this, be extra mindful and listen carefully.

It is imperative to be quick to listen and slow to speak, so that when you do speak the words are precise. The voice others hear from you encourages them to evaluate elements of you. A fool is considered wise if he can keep quiet; therefore, using your voice carries supreme responsibility to create and maintain a high level of virtuous perception.

More than just using your voice, you need to make sure that the content you’re producing is useful for the other person who is removing time to listen to you. Tone, voice modulation can only help you so much if you can produce the right & timely information for the right person.

Se você está lutando para causar uma boa impressão em videoconferências, pode ser útil avaliar alguns aspectos. Por exemplo, se estiver utilizando uma iluminação inadequada, seu rosto pode parecer sombreado ou pouco visível. Certifique-se de posicionar a fonte de luz de maneira que ilumine seu rosto de frente. Outro erro comum é não manter contato visual com a câmera; se olhar para a tela, pode parecer que está desinteressado. Olhe diretamente para a câmera para criar uma conexão mais direta com os participantes. Finalmente, distrações no ambiente, como barulhos ou objetos movimentados ao fundo, podem impactar negativamente. Mantenha o ambiente organizado e silencioso para uma apresentação mais profissional.

1.Time is money and if you are not punctual in video conferences you are indicating you don't value the other person's time. 2. Sticking to the agenda of meetings can help you win hearts so please be mindful of that. If there is a deviation, gently get attendees back on track to meet the objectives of the conference. 3. Participants are in a meeting to contribute their ideas so try to share the stage with others. 4. Don't close the meeting , end it well so next time recipients feel like joining your meetings.

In the current landscape, it’s not only podcasters and YouTubers who are focusing on improving their setups. Many professionals, myself included, are making substantial investments to enhance their workspaces. It’s more than just maintaining a clean room. You should consider aspects like the quality of your lighting, microphone, camera resolution, internet stability, room acoustics, and the visual appeal of your backdrop during video calls. These factors have become increasingly important, particularly since 2020, which marked a significant shift in the standards for professional virtual presentations. If your setup is still pending an upgrade, now might be the time to consider it.

Después de tener en cuenta las recomendaciones de los anteriore panelistas, como el vestuario adecuado y formal, mirar la cámara directamente, los fondos simples y claros, ausencia de distracciones, considero serían las más importantes: 1. Hablar poco y escuchar mucho 2. conocimiento el tema, para responder adecuadamente 3. Ser conciso y preciso, sin dar largas 4. Manejo de los tiempos, dejando un espacio importante para resolver dudas

I agree to the above and in my view one of the key points is to “Listen” Many a times while in video interview calls people tend to always keep thinking about what to answer next and miss out the current question

Don’t be afraid to utilize notes and practice. If I know I want to hit certain topics and discussion points then I’ll jot those down and use a split screen. I don’t read things verbatim but it helps me maintain conciseness, clarity, and coherency. These three Cs are especially important during any conference but particularly during a video conference. Also — don’t be afraid to show your authentic self. Laugh, Joke, Take time to engage with the audience etc. Make yourself more personable by being human!

Everyone of these are on point. Pay attention, be ready to be called on to answer questions. Keep background clean and no distractions. Always dress to impress even on camera.

Jot down notes during the video call: -subjects discussed -if follow-up is required with personnel out of the video conference -as needed, the names of people in the chat, so you can find their contact information later

One thing I’ve found helpful is utilizing the chat section of video conferences. I am not someone who loves speaking on calls & I can often forget questions/comments/concerns throughout meetings. I have used the chat section many times & speakers acknowledge my questions/comments/concerns without having to break their speaking apart.
