Tips and Tricks
• Make sure you know the name or number of the
site you want to call.
• Connect and test any additional equipment
before the meeting.
• Avoid wearing bright colors, all-light or all-dark
clothing, or “busy” patterns. Light pastels and
muted colors look the best on the screen.
• Adjust your camera so that the far site can see
you. Fill the screen with people rather than with
the table, chairs, walls, lights, or floor.
• Adjust your microphone so that the far site can
hear you. Mute the microphone before moving
it.
• Make sure that you can see and hear the far-site
participants.

• Place a call, then press on the remote
control or select , and then select Add a Call

to call additional sites.
