Do you have strong enough WiFi to support video? Is your webcam and microphone working correctly? It's important to test all your connections before your interview. IMPORTANT: Please note that video recordings require a high amount of internet bandwidth to run smoothly. If you know that you don't have a strong WiFi connection, you may want to try and find an alternative place to interview. This could be your college, a local library or even a friend's home. Whatever the case, make sure you have a strong WiFi signal during your interview. Glitches, lagging video and sound are no fun and can cause a lot of unnecessary stress.

Find yourself a quiet space with no distractions. Do you have a dog at home? As much as we'd love to meet them too, you probably don't want to have them barking or howling while you're in the middle of your assessment. If possible, sequester yourself somewhere that's free from distractions. You may also want to leave your phone behind (or at least place it on silent mode).

Try to find a location with a neutral background. In fact, it's always a good idea to try out your webcam ahead of time in the location that you're planning to use, so that you can check out what others will see in the background during the video recording. Why is this important? Please type in a Google search for "Zoom meeting fails."

Let others in your home know that you will be recording a video assessment and should not be disturbed. If possible, you may also want to request that others in the home refrain from streaming content online during this time, so as to ensure your internet connection remains strong throughout your assessment.
