In remote work, projecting a professional and world-class image during video meetings (Zoom, Google Hangout etc.) is crucial for effective communication and collaboration. Here’s a comprehensive guideline to help you and your team shine.

🌇 Use a Filmhub Virtual Background

• If you are in an external meeting, we highly recommend you use a Filmhub Virtual Background if the video meeting supports it.
• If virtual backgrounds are not an option, ensure your physical surroundings are tidy, clutter-free, and professional. Avoid overly personal or distracting elements.

Where to find Filmhub Virtual Backgrounds

🖼️ Composition

Position your head into top half following the rule-of-thirds - not in the center of the camera’s frame. Your shoulder will be in the center (not your head). Fill the frame.

Put the camera at or slightly above your eye level.

💡 Lighting Matters

Use a ring light if possible. If you don’t have a ring light, position yourself facing a window (not behind you) or a well-lit area. Avoid having a strong backlight, as it can cause your face to be shadowed.

Ring light options:

Amazon Ring Light

🎤 Quality Audio

Use a good-quality microphone or headset to ensure clear audio. Background noise can be distracting, so find a quiet place to join the meeting. When you're not speaking, keep your microphone muted to eliminate background noise and prevent interruptions.

Mic options:

• Blue Snowball USB Microphone
• Blue Yeti
• Beyerdynamic Fox USB Condenser Microphone

💻 Internet Connection

A stable and high-speed internet connection is crucial for smooth video and audio quality. Use a wired connection if possible to minimize interruptions.
