▪ Try to keep dry-erase whiteboards out of the camera field of view. Be aware that other people in the
meeting might see what’s written on the whiteboards.
Lighting
▪ Close any curtains, drapes, or blinds over your windows. Daylight is a variable light source and can
conflict with interior room lighting.
▪
Bright lighting increases the range of in-focus objects, but inappropriate direct lighting might make
you look harsh or somber. Poly recommends using indirect fluorescent lighting in a midrange,
neutral color temperature (3600 K to 4500 K). You can find the color temperature of your lighting on
the packaging.
Audio and Noise
▪ Mute your audio when you’re silent or before you move your audio device.
▪ Keep your windows and doors closed to minimize unwanted noises.
▪ Close any drapes or blinds over your windows. The glass from windowpanes can cause issues with
acoustics due to reflection.
