Webcasting Skype Norms
- Use a headset and external microphone
- Test your skype audio beforehand by skyping 'echo123'
- Stop or pause your webcast before joining a skype conference
- Don't wander too far away from your mic, but be careful about breathing directly into it. You can also turn your mic off when not speaking - this will prevent breathing and typing noises from being shared with listeners.
- Be prepared to join a conversation in progress
- Announce your name before speaking
- Use Skype text message to communicate with show hosts about sound issues
