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
And some techinical guidelines
Your image should look something like this. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions Steve@TrustFFP.com 717-697-2622.

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
