Video conferencing etiquette
视频会议礼仪


1. Mute yourself when not speaking
   在不说话的时候保持静音
   Even though you may not be speaking and think you’re being quiet, most microphones can pick up minor background noises, like coughs, sneezes, or typing. These sounds can easily distract other video conferencing participants.
   即使你可能没有在说话，觉得自己很安静，但大多数麦克风都能捕捉到轻微的背景噪音，比如咳嗽、打喷嚏或打字。这些声音很容易分散其他视频会议参与者的注意力。
2. Be on time
   准时
   This one should be standard with any meeting, video or otherwise. However, when you’re dialing in to a video conference, it’s especially important.
   准时应该是参加任何会议都要遵守的标准，不管是视频还是其他会议。然而，当你拨入一个视频会议，这是尤其重要的。
3. Ensure your technology works correctly
   确保你的设备正常运行
   You don’t want to have to delay a meeting with an important client because your video conferencing system isn’t working properly. You need to do a few test runs with internal employees. This will make sure everything runs smoothly during the real thing.
   你一定不想因为你的视频会议系统不能正常运行而推迟与重要客户的会议。你需要和内部员工进行几次测试。这将确保在实际工作期间一切顺利。
4. Wear work-appropriate clothing
   穿着适合工作的衣服
   While it might be tempting to work in your favorite sweatshirt all day, consider wearing professional attire to any video conferences you’re attending. You don’t have to wear anything fancy, but choose something that would be appropriate.
   虽然整天穿着你最喜欢的运动衫工作可能很诱人，但是还是要穿着职业装参加视频会议。你不需要穿的多么时髦，但是还是要穿着得体。
