Make sure that your Internet connection is stable. It would be silly and quite disappointing to freeze with an open mouth or to miss a question you have a good answer to. It would be even worse to get logged out of the conference.
Choose the lighting. This is not the best time to act as a mysterious dark figure lurking in the shadows of your room. Instead, face the window or turn on the light in front of you.

Warn your roommates and family Ask those who living with you to be considerate, try to keep the noise levels downand not to enter your room.
Dress professionally. Don’t go too far — wearing a black tie in an apartment might be too much. We suggest going for a smart casual look. And don’t forget to wear pants!
