- No other participant - Make sure that only your face is in the camera focus, and no one else is around during the interview.
- Illumination - Ensure that the room is properly lit for the interview.
Microphone Requirements
- Earphones with mic (recommended) - Please consider using earphones for better speech recognition. Specifically, essential for noisy surroundings.
