G ENERAL GUIDELINES FOR SPEAKERS & PRESENTERS • Choose a place that is well-lit but avoid lighting that falls directly on top of your head, or that is to the side of your face. • The best solution is natural light coming from a window directly in front of you. Alternatively, a lamp can be placed on the other side of the computer screen to provide direct lighting.
