Come prepared
You have a limited amount of time to use the space so...make it count! Know what you will want to present ahead of time.
If using a PowerPoint, use large text
Since your slides won't take up the full screen of your final recording, you will want them to be large, and legible. On a typical PowerPoint presentation, you won't want to use anything smaller than approximately a 32-point font for your text.
Don't wear green clothing
The backdrop in the studio is green fabric, so if you wear a green shirt, top, or suit, you may find yourself "disappearing" into the background.
Look at the camera, not the preview
There is a preview screen that will show what your video will look like. Although it is good to look at this before you press the button, once the recording has started, you will want to look straight ahead at the camera lens.
Consider using a lectern, stool, whiteboard or other furniture if needed.
Provided in the studio is a lectern, couch, and a stool. Any of these can be used in your video, if it would be useful to you. If you would like to use a whiteboard for your video, mobile whiteboards are available.
