| The video quality will be greatly improved if you can light your room and yourself evenly. Even cheap cameras, or cameras built into a laptop, give good results if there is enough light. If possible, choose a room without natural light, and make sure the lights in the room are not directly visible in the camera frame (which would lead to bad exposure of the image). Make sure that your face is lit from multiple angles, and that the background is lit approximately the same. You will need to experiment a bit to get a good setup. | The video quality will be greatly improved if you can light your room and yourself evenly.

| + | There is a good chance that your presentation will be simultaneously interpreted (from English to German or German to English, and perhaps into another language as well). You could greatly help the interpreters by sharing your materials. These can include | ||
| + | * presentation slides | ||
| + | * notes to the slides | ||
| + | * pre-scripted speeches for your presentation or parts of it – this is of particular importance because scripted speech means much more complex language and often higher speed | ||
| + | * text that is spoken in video or audio inserts played during your presentation | ||
| + | * lists of technical terms or other complicated terminology or highly specific information that interpreters could familiarise themselves with in advance | ||
| + | * names and functions of persons or institutions mentioned in the presentation | ||
| + | * interviews and panel events are of course spontaneous situations, but perhaps the moderators have prepared lists of questions that they could share | ||
| + | * etc. | ||
