These guidelines ensure a smooth recording and consistent quality. This isn't about perfection—it's about clarity and minimal distractions.
Audio
MOST IMPORTANTGood audio matters more than good video. If you have to choose, choose audio.
External microphone or quality headset
Wired headphones (more reliable than Bluetooth)
Quiet space with minimal echo
Close windows, turn off fans
Avoid: Laptop built-in microphone, echo-heavy rooms, background noise
Video & Framing
Camera at eye level (not looking down)
Stable setup (no handheld devices)
Landscape orientation
Head and shoulders in frame
Lighting
Face a natural or soft light source
Light from in front, not behind
Avoid strong overhead lighting
A window works well. You don't need studio lights.
Background
Neutral, uncluttered background
Quiet, private space
No visual distractions behind you
Virtual backgrounds are fine if your setup supports them cleanly.
What to Wear
Professional and comfortable
Solid colors work best
Avoid tight patterns or shiny fabrics
Internet
Stable connection required
Wired connection preferred
Close unnecessary apps before recording
