Pay attention to everything in the field of vision of your webcam. Pay attention to background distractions, or in some services that allow it, upload a virtual background, for example your company logo. Stay professional even when you work from home.
2. Correct angle of view
If you are using a smartphone or tablet, make sure the camera is at or above eye level. Look at the screen, or better yet at the camera, not at anything else. Other camera angles can significantly distort your face.
3. Avoid distractions
Mute your microphone when you're not talking during a group meeting. Try not to move unnecessarily or use exaggerated arguments.
4. Be nice
For example, try to avoid sipping a drink or eating while talking to a client. Although you can have a real family relationship with your client, and go out for a coffee together, you should avoid all possible noises that can distort the sound on the camera and make someone uncomfortable.
5. Stay professional
Have a plan for your call, be prepared and start on time. Don't forget about appropriate non-verbal communication. Remember that your face and gestures make up more than 90% of your message. The speed, tone and volume must match the message you want to convey.
6. Don't forget the time
The length of virtual conversations should be determined by their goals. If the discussion will last a long time, take breaks. Most people are not able to keep focused for more than 90 minutes at a time.
7. Focus on the current task
Always avoid the temptation of multitasking during a virtual meeting. Turn off your phone and turn off notifications. In short, the key to successful virtual communication, as well as in live meetings, is full attention, careful preparation and your appearance and behavior.
