A successful video conference provides a 
face-to-face meeting, even if the partici-
pants are miles or continents apart. Keep 
in mind that it still is a meeting—normal eti-
quette and dress code apply even here.
General
• 
Consider setting the unit to Automatic 
Answer
• 
Do not forget to rehearse “the noble 
art of operating a video system” to the 
extent needed.
In the Meeting Room
• 
Make sure the microphone is placed at 
the front of the table to ensure that all 
speech will be detected. The best position 
is at least 2 m (6.5’) in front of the system, 
on a flat surface with at least 0.3 m (1’) of 
table in front.
• 
Directive microphones should point 
away from the video system.
• 
Make sure that no speaking participant 
experience obstacles blocking the view 
to the microphone at all times. 
• 
Microphones should always be placed 
away from noise sources like computer 
and projector fans placed on the table. 
The noise from such sources is often 
perceived as surprisingly loud by the 
remote participants. 
• 
If you use a document or whiteboard 
camera try to arrange the participants 
so that the camera is close to the leader 
of the meeting, or alternatively, close to 
a designated controller. 
• 
When a whiteboard is used, the meeting 
will be perceived as better to the remote 
participants if the whiteboard is visible 
through the main camera, as well as 
through a dedicated whiteboard camera.  
Broadcasting companies normally do 
this to let viewers see that the presenter 
actually is in the same room.
• 
Remember to arrange all the peripherals 
so that one participant can reach each 
of them to point, change the display, 
record or perform other functions during 
the conference.
• 
To help ensure the most natural meeting 
environment, position the camera on 
the top center of the receiving monitor, 
if possible. The camera should point 
directly at the meeting participants to 
guarantee eye contact with those at the 
far end. Check this out by means of the 
Selfview feature of your video system. 
The Selfview shows what the remote 
party can see from your system (the 
outgoing video).
• 
If you are going to share content you will 
normally make use of duo video. That 
implies the use of two video streams, 
one showing the presentation and the 
other showing the presenter—or the 
group of presenters. Smaller systems 
may force you to choose between 
showing the presentation or the pre-
senter. 
• 
For duo video some attention is needed. 
Duo video is sometimes shown side–by–
side with half the screen showing the 
presentation and the other half showing 
the presenter. Provide the impression 
that you seem to look towards the pre-
sentation instead of the impression that 
you sit with your back towards it, when 
all is viewed on the remote monitor. If in 
doubt, look straight into the camera to 
avoid this situation.
Ease of Use
• 
To help meeting participants dial, add 
presentations and use other functionality 
during a call, consider stationing 
a poster, table tent or other quick-
reference guide in the room.
Other Tips
Use Camera Presets
Cisco TelePresence systems let you 
create predefined zoom and camera 
pointing directions (pan and tilt). 
Use these to zoom into the person 
speaking, if appropriate. Do not for-
get to zoom out again afterwards. 
Loudspeaker Volume
The audio system will use the loud-
speakers built into the monitor or the 
Cisco Digital Natural Audio Module. 
For some systems you can set the 
default volume level by adjusting 
the volume on the monitor with the 
monitor remote.
Brightness Control
To adjust brightness, colors or other 
settings of the monitor, use the 
monitor’s own remote control. Adjust 
the monitor to suit the conditions of 
the conference room. The monitors 
supplied by Cisco have on-screen 
menus that are very easy to use. For 
more information on configuring the 
monitor as such, see the corre-
sponding user guides and adminis-
tration manuals.
