Your Ten Point Checklist
Before the recording
Are you in a quiet, tidy space?
Is your device plugged in?
Is your camera at eye-level?
Is your face (front) well lit?
Wear earbuds or headphones
This is required to stop audio issues
Use a dedicated, external mic
Not your AirPods mic*
Why your microphone matters
• You can select which microphone to use in the session
• We strongly recommend using a dedicated mic (plug in)
• If you don’t have one of those, use your laptop/headset mic
• AirPods and other earbuds have terrible audio quality
– never select these.

Join via the link we sent
Allow access to your camera + mic
Be yourself and have fun!
