In order to ensure your recording session runs without any technical issues, we ask that you carefully read below instructions and follow our recommendations in regard to your technical equipment. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.  

1. Zoom Desktop App – We suggest you use Zoom to record your presentation – please download the desktop Zoom App (https://zoom.us/download, click “Download under “Zoom Client for Meetings”). If you have it already downloaded, please ensure that you have the most up to date version. 
2. Camera setup (if applicable to your presentation type) – Ensure your camera is centered and that we can see you from the chest up to a few inches over your head. Start a meeting with yourself by clicking on “New Meeting” in Zoom to optimize your camera setup.   
3. Headset – We highly recommend the use of headphones with a boom microphone like the one below (USB preferred over Bluetooth). If possible, please do NOT use earphones/earbuds/in-ear headphones or a headset without a microphone as these reduce your audio quality.
4. Lighting (if applicable to your presentation type) – Lighting should come from front of you rather than behind you. Avoid backgrounds with harsh light such as windows. If you do sit in front of a window, please close the curtains/blinds.  
5. Clothes (if applicable to your presentation type) – Avoid wearing colors such as purple, dark blue or light purple as this will blend into the virtual background  
6. Presentation – If you want to include videos in your presentation, we recommend that you embed them in your slides instead of including a link to an external application. Instructions on how to embed videos can be found here: https://bit.ly/2WDJj1w
