8. Using Webex video conferencing

Webex best practices when collaborating from home

Turn your video on
Sharing video can be intimidating at first but having your camera on will keep you aware of the conversation and connected with your colleagues.

Check your background
Reduce clutter and double check for personal items you didn’t intend to share in your background.

Camera position
Think about where your webcam is positioned and keep it at eye height for the most natural look.

Headsets at home
For the best audio experience, use a noise reducing headset.

Mute yourself
Muting yourself when not speaking prevents background noise around you from distracting others in the meeting.

Camera strobing / Flickering

This Occurs whilst under fluro lights. In Australia we use 240v 50Hz power.
Camera’s out of the factory are calibrated to 60Hz this can cause flickering and distortion unless the camera is configured to match the power.

  1. Type Camera in the Windows search box and select the Camera application from the list of search results

  2. Click the settings icon.

  3. Scroll down and change the Flicker Reduction setting to 50Hz.
