Test the real setup
Use the device, account and location you expect to use for the interview. Confirm that your microphone and camera are selected and check whether a guest link or a sign-in is required. Look at the frame and lighting in the video preview. Keep the camera near eye level and place notes nearby where you can glance at them without interrupting the conversation.
- Save the meeting link, start time, time zone and a contact number.
- Close unrelated applications, tabs and notifications.
- Have a charged phone or another device available in case the main connection drops.
- Open any portfolio or shared document ahead of time and check its permissions.
Make the conversation work on video
Pause briefly after a question to account for audio delay. If the call freezes, tell the interviewer which part of the question you missed once the connection returns. If you need to share your screen, share only the relevant window. After the meeting, follow up on any work you could not show because of a technical issue.
