- [Derek] Many of us are spending more time than ever in video conference calls, but are we looking and sounding our best? By embracing a few basic but important techniques, we can dramatically improve our presence online. Camera manufacturers have developed free webcam software that we can use with digital cameras that we often already own. In this training, you will learn how to improve your video conferencing presence by plugging these devices into our computers and applying a few simple techniques. Hi, I'm Derek Story, professional photographer, podcaster and book author. I'm going to show you how to look and sound great online using digital photography gear and webcam software. We'll also look at lighting, audio and environment as well. So please join me for video conferencing with digital cameras.
