In a video call/ video conference eye contact play an important role that shows how much you are attentive during the call. Good eye contact not only shows your confidence but also present your professionalism toward the call. Perfect eye contact establishes when we look into our camera instead of staring at the member's screen.
2. Don't Do Mumbling-
Speak loudly and clearly so that everyone could hear you. A strong voice conveys the speaker's confidence, reliability, and authority, and on the other hand, a mumbled voice lose the audience's attention towards the speaker.
3. Avoid Multitasking-
During a video call avoid multitasking such as checking emails, engaging in other works. Doing multitask can cause of misunderstanding the message during a video call. Always stay in the moment with a single task.
For Example- During the video call manager assign the task for sharing last month's sales report but you are busy with other tasks and heard sales reports then it will create confusion to you which month sales report you have to share with your manager.
4. Adjust Yourself in a Fram-
Never sit too close or too far from the screen. Fit yourself like, that your face and shoulders are properly visible and the audience can see gestures and postures. Use the background as simple as a plain wall or set a virtual background. Remember background should not be distracting and messy.
5. Use the Chat Window Properly-
Sometimes we have to connect with members over chat during the Q&A session or due to some technical issues you have to connect with the host. So while using the chat window be attentive and avoid any kind of informal discussion over the chat window.
6. Appropriate attire-
Formal or Informal meeting, always wear appropriate attire that is part of dressing sense. Good attire not only makes a positive impact on others but also reflects your professionalism.
7. Mute Yourself While Another Speaker is Speaking-
Know when to mute yourself. When it's not your turn than kindly put yourself on mute mode so that other speakers can speak without any distraction and everyone can hear them properly.
8. Secure a good internet connection-
The first and foremost thing to remember during the video calls to have a good internet connection. Poor internet connection may fall into glitches & snags and it could not deliver the proper message to the audience. If the internet connection is weak then try to switch off your video mode so that at least everyone can hear your voice properly.
9. Don't Eat During call-
Eating meals during video call doesn't leave a good impression. You should avoid eating lunch and snacks. Remember people can see you easily and they can be distracted by chewing sounds.
10. Avoid Distractions-
While working from home we tend to get easily distracted in other tasks of home. Like laundry, walk your dog, etc. You can do so after a small break. So it is advisable to focus on work and try not to indulge in distractions during office hours.
To follow the trend of social distancing, video calls/conferencing is the best way to interact with each other during the lockdown. Working remotely will not be the same as in-person interaction and meetings, but that does not mean that you cannot get the message across. These tips will help you to work efficiently and make an impression on video calls.
