Elevating both your point and your presence in a Zoom, Skype, WebX or similar virtual meeting, requires not only engaging in video conference-friendly tactics but also disabusing yourself of potential misconceptions about the medium.

3. Frame yourself wisely
4. Be present and mindful
5. Don’t become your own distraction
6. Use the chat window as your partner
