Communication First.
Yep, a lot of effort has been wasted in your team in terms of communication? And you found your teammates have a lot of tensions during an online conferencing?
It’s time to make a change.
The major idea is:
Online conferencing over good audio + good video of faces & body languages.
In terms of good audio
It’s better not to use Mac / Windows speaker. IMHO, that somehow ruins the audio quality. Instead, use headset. Say for me, I have my Bose QC35.
In terms of good video
- You may need Zoom, not WebEx / Skype
- You may need a DSLR camera with good lens serving as WebCam, not laptop built-in camera
TL;DR
Here is my gadget solution and more explanations:
- Zoom
- Has much better speed / stability over WebEx and even Skype in US/China
- With iOS/Android full support
- Olympus OM-D 10 mark II with M43 Leica 25/1.4 lens (Panasonic)
- Or any other DSLR cameras that provide HDMI clean output
- Good lens
- Magewell HDMI to USB
It’s easy to make them in one piece to serve as WebCam for Zoom.
