\"Google<\/a>You have read my 20 step guide on how to setup and launch a Google Hangout. The entire point of a Hangout is inviting guests to join your Hangyout. Here is a short check list of 12 things you and all your guests should do to deliver the best quality Hangout.<\/p>\n

Google Hangout Advance Checklist for Guests:<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Quiet location.<\/strong> – Cut down as much background noise as possible.<\/li>\n
  2. Turn off and silence all phones<\/strong>. – Just like going to the movies.<\/li>\n
  3. This is a video chat, install a video camera<\/strong>. – HD is preferred.<\/li>\n
  4. Please use headphones to cut down feedback<\/strong>. – If you don’t use headphones the other guests will hear themselves through your speakers.<\/li>\n
  5. Use a external mic if possible<\/strong>, even a iPhone headset works fine\u2026 as both the mic and headphones.<\/li>\n
  6. You need to be using either a laptop or desktop.<\/strong> – Broadcastig from iPad or a smartphone will not work.<\/li>\n
  7. Good front lighting.<\/strong> – You don’t want a shadow on your face.<\/li>\n
  8. Ideal connection is a Ethernet cable<\/strong> rather than wifi. Otherwise the fastest wifi connection possible. – Better connection, better video quality.<\/li>\n
  9. Small movements on camera.<\/strong> – Don’t make fast, jittery movements.<\/li>\n
  10. You will be on camera so please dress appropriately.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  11. Think about your background.<\/strong> – A blank white wall behind you is boring.<\/li>\n
  12. Arrive early.<\/strong> – Everyone involved with the Hangout should arrive early so you can make sure everything is setup and working properly and discuss the flow of the Hangout.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Here is a great PDF file that Google gave to me, Hangouts On Air Users Guide.<\/a> Feel free to download and share.<\/p>\n
