Tips for Hosting a Successful Video Conference
Video conferencing is a versatile tool to host synchronous discussions, whether for
a meeting, a class, or catching up with friends. These quick and easy steps will help
you conduct a smooth and productive video meeting.
Mute yourself when not speaking
Minimize interruptions
Reduce or remove distracting imagery
Stockton University provides a selection of neutral background images to use in your video conference.
Wear headphones
Headphones help to isolate sound, simultaneously making it easier to hear other participants and preventing microphone feedback. A headphone-microphone set is particularly useful for video calls, as it keeps the microphone closer to your mouth to improve audio clarity.
Don’t talk over other participants
Be an active host
Not all participants will follow rules or video conference etiquette. Hosts have the ability to mute or remove participants who are disruptive.
