is going on – but don’t apologize excessively –
technical issues can happen! (C)

- 38. Webcam v. No Webcam
If you’re going to use a webcam make sure the
lighting is good (windows for daytime, great
lighting if the webinar is at night)
You’ve got to make eye contact with the webcam
(this will take practice to make sure you’re eyes are
not shifting between your slides and your webcam
(which can then make you appear “shifty”
Make sure whatever is behind you is not distracting

Saturday Mornings at 8AM – works GREAT!)
