Does Logitech sell high quality Skype webcams in family packs? Support the viral impulse.

Tips:

1. Position Skype below the webcam. So you’ll be looking “at” the people on the other end of a video call.
2. Look for noise cancellation in speakerphones. Clears up background noise. A little.
3. Keep a notepad and marker handy to show hand drawn notes. Nothing talks like doodles.
4. If you talk with your hands, sit back so the webcam picks up all of you.
5. Get a hand mirror to check your grooming. Nothing like having someone point out food stuck in your teeth from across the world.
6. Turn off automatic answer of video calls. Who knows what you’ll be wearing?
7. Reserve Skype names for your loved ones, especially kids. Don’t leave them with georgewbush29837647a.
8. Chat before you call. Invite them to video, don’t assume they want to now. Netiquette.
9. Make a contact group for your family. Easier to look them up.
