  2. Consider lighting when recording e.g make sure the lights in the room are turned on and the blinds are open if needed.
  3. Those speaking in the recording should have a loud and clear voice for the optimal sound quality when playing back the video.

  5. The person being recorded should look into the camera rather than the screen.
