Recording Tips
Audio Quality: - If possible, use a microphone rather than your computer’s in-built speaker to record your audio
Environment Setup: - Ensure all notifications are turned off - Remove background noise, turn off fans, devices & close the door to avoid distraction
Video Positioning: - Please make sure your video does not block the texts on your slides
