Welcome to English as a Second Language Podcast number 264: Preparing for a Video Conference.
This is English as a Second Language Podcast episode 264. I'm your host, Dr. Jeff McQuillan, coming to you from the Center for Educational Development in beautiful Los Angeles, California. How are you today?
On this podcast, we're going to hear a dialogue between two people talking about getting ready, or getting prepared, for a Internet video conference. Let's get started.
Emiliano: I’m not sure about this video conference today. It’s the next best thing to having a meeting face-to-face, but I’ve never used most of this equipment before.
Fatima: It’s a piece of cake. Do you want to do a run-through with me?
Emiliano: Do you mind? I’d really like to make sure that I know how to work this webcam and microphone.
Fatima: I don’t mind at all. Okay, we have Internet connectivity, so streaming won’t be a problem. The speakers on both computers are turned up.
Emiliano: Do you know how to adjust this webcam? Right now, it’s focused on my right ear!
Fatima: That’s easy. Just use these buttons to zoom in or out, and you can tilt up or down.
Emiliano: Oh, I see.
