Hello! I'm Steve Kownacki and I have the privilege of being the production company to support PACD and your Hybrid Staff Conference on February 16 & 17. I'm here to help you look and sound your best! All of these suggestions will aid you in looking professional in all of your online meetings.

Most people have a better conversation when we can see reactions of others. It's preferred that you keep your cameras on so the in-room presenters have a larger audience reactig to their presentations.

​Some aesthetic guidelines

• Avoid white or black, and deep, solid colors like red, green and blue
• Fine pinstripes, patterns or checks are not pleasing to the camera
• Staying with neutral or muted colors and designs works best
• Don't sit on a chair that swivels, rocks, or otherwise moves. Nervous movement reduces your professionalism
• Center yourself in the frame from left to right
• Keep no more than a fist-sized space above your head. Your eyes/head should not be in the middle of the screen
• The bottom of the frame should be no further down than your elbows

And some techinical guidelines

• Raise your camera to keep it at eye level; we've all looked up too many noses lately
• ​The lens is your audience, maintain eye contact
• Don't put a window behind you, this will cause difficult silhouetting. A window behind the camera is good
• Keep the microphone as close to you as possible. It's probably located in your webcam or your laptop screen.
• Be aware of ambient noise in the room. I’ve heard it all: dishes, kids, pets, construction. Do your best to work around that
• You can light yourself with a lamp placed 3' to the side and 3' in front of you. This will take some experimenting
