35
Three quick random tips…
36
1. If you don’t already use Skype video regularly… Push yourself to try using Skype video on a regular basis.
37
2. To get better sound… Use earphones with a microphone, such as the ones you use with your mobile phone. When doing this, make sure “Jack Mic” is selected in: Tools | Options | Audio Settings | Microphone
38
3. To maintain sanity… Set a shared expectation of being on “mute” when you’re not talking.
