tl;dr

Demonstration

Checklist

• Have your eyes at the same level as your webcam (avoid “speaking down” to your audience).
• To remain in the frame at all times, avoid moving your feet around as you present.
• Consider using the Panopto smart camera operator feature if you move your arms around regularly.

Activity

Using the Panopto Capture tool or your computer’s photobooth application, record yourself in order to get a sense of your framing.
