Audio and video conferences are important communication tools for the synchronous exchange of information across spatial distances. Since you are only virtually in a room, other rules apply, which you should observe. We have summarized the most important tips here. 

== Before a conference for all participants ==
* Sufficient bandwidth at the participation location: Your Internet connection must be fast enough
* Procure or provide headset and camera
* Try out the technique in advance
* Create the quietest possible environment

==At the conference as a participant==
* Being on time, better a few minutes early than late
* Use a headset
* When you're not talking, turn off the microphone
* Avoid noise (no typing on the keyboard, ringing of other telephones, eating or swallowing noises), switch off microphone 
* If the connection is bad or there is interference: Switch off video transmission
* If the bandwidth is definitely insufficient, dial in via audio
* Keep eye contact: Look into the camera if possible
* Do not make the background too private, enough light
* Let others finish
* Speak slowly and clearly
* In large groups: Announce own contributions by hand sign or in the chat, maybe wait for the word

==At a conference as a organizer ==
* Please always check if a synchronous conference is the right exchange format - especially for larger groups
* Invite with sufficient lead time
* Have fallback scenario (audio only or other appointment) ready
* Avoid recording the session if it is not clear how stable the technologies used are
* If the software allows it: mute all microphones centrally for larger rounds as organizer and allow speaking rights only by notification (chat, use hand signals)
* Use the " Share Document " function with caution, as it requires more bandwidth
* Prepare the agenda and leave it for the moderation, as everyone can have their say
* Greeting all participants, possibly a welcome round to ''warm up
* Explain communication guidelines again in advance; remind participants that the microphones should be switched off during pauses in speaking
* Stringent presenter
* If yes/no questions to the round ask for visual feedback thumbs up/down
* Summarize the results at the end of the conference and send them in writing to all
