Before Class – Device & Room Settings
- Use a laptop, PC/mac or tablet with minimum 10-inch screen.
- Have your device in landscape position.
- Have your camera at eye level where possible.

- Sit facing your light source so your face is well illuminated and visible.
- Proper lighting allows good visibility of facial expressions and signing.
