• Make sure you have a good internet connection. Video conferencing requires a lot of bandwidth, so you'll need a strong connection to avoid lag and buffering.
• Use a headset with a microphone. This will help improve the sound quality of your meeting.
• Position your camera so that you are facing the light. This will help you look your best on camera.
• Mute your microphone when you're not speaking. This will help reduce background noise and make it easier for other participants to hear you.
• Use the chat feature to share links, files, and notes with other participants.
• Record your meetings so that you can refer back to them later.
