Your phone or tablet can work, but they are limited to a certain number of video windows. They may not have all the same functions that are available on a computer or laptop.

Try familiarize yourself with the ZOOM functions and their locations on your screen.

Mirroring the video will confuse you if you are learning Sign Language online. So, please disable the mirror effect.

NO SIDELIGHT/BACKLIGHT, PLEASE!
So, avoid having the lights behind your back. Also avoid sitting your back to the window. The “SHADY FACE” will be formed, that is, half of their face is shaded or blocked in some way.
Recommended having one steady lamp, directly by your face, for even, steady lighting.


So, please reframe yourself from the head to the waist. Also, ensure that your face, hands and body can be seen in the video box/window.
