From A Production Standpoint, the Following is recommended:
- Be sure each presenter is well lit and not sitting in front of a window as this will
silhouette the individual. In addition, try to avoid your computer as the main source
of lighting (this can be done by placing a lamp just behind your screen to provide
front light or changing your desktop background to a less harsh color).
- Be sure each presenter projects their voice and is within a decent distance to mic
on computer. In addition, be sure any background noise is minimized (tv, radio…. etc.)
If you are running a multi-presenter recording session, best practiceis to have everyone
muted until it is their time to present.
- Be sure your camera shot does not have too much head room, frame your shot with equal
distance on all sides. In addition, if using a laptop, elevate the laptop so you are
at eye level with the integrated camera.
- Presenters using their natural surroundings as backdrop is optimal, however, your
background speaks volumes about you, so be sure it is professional and neat.
- Presenters choosing to use a virtual ÒùÐÔÊÓƵ branded background; (please note that
moving around during the presentation will cause substantial visual drop out of presenter
and will be distracting for other zoom participants.
- Be sure your cloud recording settings are set as seen below for optimal recording.
CLOUD RECORDING: Optimal Recording Settings For Post Production:
From an I.T. Zoom setting standpoint the following is recommended:
- Enable HD when recording:
- Perform a pre-test/recording prior to recording session to ensure audio/video works
well.
- Record to cloud and then share via link from Zoom, that way we can pull from the source
rather than something potentially converted from downloading/uploading.
