For Presentation Purpose - Share Content


Open the application / content that you want to share before you join the meeting.

Share your screen

When you share your screen, everyone sees what you can see on your screen. Before your meeting,
mute notifications and close any personal or sensitive documents.

Share only a specific application

When you share a specific application, others cannot see anything other than the shared application.
For example, if you are sharing Powerpoint application and have several presentations open, you can
switch between them and they will still be shared. You can also edit slides as you share them.

If you accidentally click on an application that is not shared, others will see a gray screen.

Share a file

Sharing files allows you to share a single file. It could be anything, like a document or video file stored
on your computer. File sharing may not work when you are trying to share a PowerPoint presentation
with embedded video.

4
Share a whiteboard

Create a whiteboard to visually share your ideas with a blank work area where you can collaborate
with the other meeting participants using both text and graphics tools. Whiteboards shared during a
meeting are not automatically saved. Remember to save your whiteboard.

Audio Best Practices

Join from a quiet place

If you have a very noisy background, participants will struggle to hear you
clearly.

Use a good headset

The best audio experience is achieved with a good internet connection and a
good quality headset. Earphones can be used but tend to pick up a lot of
background noise, so they are not recommended.

When using a headset, place the microphone in front of your chin, not in
front of your mouth, to avoid heavy breathing sounds.

Video Best Practices

Find your light


Good lighting can make all the difference. Get it just right by
adjusting your curtains or blinds and having a warm light on
your desk.

Get your angles right


Position your camera just above eye level. This gives a warm,
open look.

You might also want to place the camera slightly left or right from your face so that you appear from
your favourite angle.

What's behind you


Think about what’s behind you and in the view of the camera.

Clear the clutter. Your background is a great conversation starter and a window to your personality.
