- dress - yes, this STILL has to be addressed. conservative, comfortable, skip the stripes and big jewelry, dress like a tv broadcaster - solid colors...at least from the waist up...
- sit up - this impacts your message through your body language...what did your mother tell you...
- locate - what's behind you?..distractions?...try to arrange for a quiet spot and a plain backdrop...
- ban glitches - practice using webcam or teleconferencing gadgets before meeting time so you are not fumbling with video and sound setup...
- go into the light (in a good way) - good lighting makes all the difference. practice ahead of time and adjust the lighting to your advantage...
- look - make eye contact by looking into the camera...this takes some practice, particularly if the camera is not situated on the monitor where you are viewing the other participants....
- slow down - v-conferences move at a bit slower pace than typical meetings due to a 2 - 3 second delay for systems communication...make sure there are sufficient pauses after asking a question...
- stay jazzed (at the same time) - keep your enthusiasm level UP...confidence counts but on video it counts MORE...

All excellent suggestions. Few would consider the need of using something like lighting in presenting oneself. Cool. Good job.
