<\/a><\/p>\n3.\u00a0Keep your smartphone batteries charged<\/strong><\/p>\n I am a heavy app user on my iPhone. My Wi-Fi is always on auto-connect mode to home and work networks, plus public access hotspot services like AT&T and Xfinity Internet for the best online speeds. All this requires very good battery management and charging discipline. I have chargers installed in my car and various points at my home and office so I can charge Dell latitude e5520 laptop battery<\/span><\/a>\u00a0anywhere. Portable backup batteries<\/a> like myCharge Hub have kept me going when I need to do conference calls standing in a lobby somewhere or do social media postings at a trade show.<\/p>\n 4. Get a webcam separate from your notebook PC<\/p>\n Most notebooks today have built-in webcams, but they are usually difficult to position and tend to shows you in an awkward angle. I always use a separate webcam for several reasons:<\/p>\n – You can position the webcam level to your head. That way, you can sit in a natural position.<\/p>\n – A good webcam, especially one with a glass lens, has much better optics and viewing angle than the laptop camera.<\/p>\n – If you have a physical object you want to share with the audience, you can maneuver the camera without moving the computer.<\/p>\n – Better webcams have built-in directional microphones, which if you forget item #3 above, work better than built-in laptop computer microphones.<\/p>\n 5. Don\u2019t do audio-only conference calls<\/p>\n Conference calls are a necessity for team meetings, but doing a web-based meeting rather than distributing bridge numbers is much more productive.<\/p>\n The host can eliminate the \u201clet\u2019s do a roll call\u201d by looking at the attendee list. Even if someone is dialed in by bridge number only, they are more easily identified.<\/p>\n Reduces the interruption of \u201cwho just joined?\u201d or \u201cIs XXX here?\u201d questions.<\/p>\n The host can easily identify and mute any offending attendees who forget to mute their microphone during side conversations, or put the call on hold.<\/p>\n If the host or others need to share a document or a URL, or ask a question, then screen sharing and chat are instantly available rather than waiting for Email or trying to interrupt each other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
