Be animated. Because of video limitations, your expressions are not as visible. Nod your head and smile to show you are engaged. Look into your camera when you address others. Don’t be a distraction. Fidgeting and rocking translate poorly through a virtual forum. Also be wary of distractions caused by roommates, young children, or pets. Never take a video call while driving or walking. If these cannot be avoided, turn off your camera. Use of the chat box should be only for call-related questions. When keying messages into the chat box, double- check that your message is coherent and grammatically correct. Never initiate a recording without all participants’ acknowledgment and agreement. If you need to retain information, take notes.
