Hangouts, the Camera, and You
When you are inside a Hangout or Hangout on Air (HOA), are you showing the best version of yourself?
The ability to present the best version of yourself inside a Hangout or HOA is related to many factors. For this post we'll focus on two of them... Technical factors and Personal factors.

Technically, you'll need:
► A Good Camera (webcam that can support HD quality 720p)
► Good Sound (yes this will impact how you 'appear') so isolate the speakers from the microphone whenever possible
► Wired not WiFi connection to the Internet if possible
► Good lighting (more light on your face than from behind)
► Good upload speed (1.5mbps is a good starting point)
► Computer capability (4 cores in the CPU is needed for HD quality)
► CPU happiness (shut down non-essential programs and restart)

There is more to the above but that list is a good starting point.

Personally...
You'll need to know how to:
► Look at the camera (not the filmstrip)
► Smile!
► 'See the audience'
► Be engaging
► Embrace the concept that the camera is your friend
► Become comfortable on camera
► Realize that you may be featured at any time
And a lot more which will be covered via this HOA Event: http://goo.gl/4kZgGw ..
