Working from home has its own benefits and downfalls, as it lets one work at the comfort of their households but can at times mess up with the communication amongst the work group. Video calling apps have been a boon to such situations but there are a few things that can help you upgrade your WFH game to another level. At times lack of connectivity just makes it impossible for you to put forth your thoughts, be it some mechanical fault or not so quiet ambience at your home. So, here we are to help you ace the game of video calling in times of despair.
Importance of backdrop
A good backdrop is crucial to balance out your video call as it helps avoid unwanted disturbance in concentration. Avoid sitting in front of a window so that there is no direct light in the backdrop. Also, choose a steady platform to place your gadget for undisturbed calls.
Captions come handy
You can use real-time captions to help you through a chat, in times of not having the right earphones at the time of video calls. Get it easy with the caption feature on the new meet feature on gmail.
Keep a tab of all you share
You should avoid sharing your screen, only just share your window that you intend to share. There should not be any accidental sharing of unintended emails or important information with others.
Choose the right layout
Focusing on the real conversation rather than other things displayed on your screen. Discussion is more of an important thing while you are busy on a con-call than just some presentation being made.
You must designate time as per your work hours and handle all other work before or after your working hours to give you the best outcome. You should always try to work hard but smart to reap the sweet results of it. Frame your mind and train it to go places that you cannot go physically.
Make the best of quarantine sitting in your home.
