Hello! How can I help you today?<|im_end|>

I'm going to have a video call with some colleagues for the first time and I want to make a good impression. What are some basic etiquette rules I should follow?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
That's great. For video calls, make sure to dress professionally, even if you're working from home. Also, choose a quiet and well-lit space, and try to minimize background noise and distractions.<|im_end|>

That makes sense. What about eye contact? How do I maintain eye contact during a video call?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Maintaining eye contact is important. Look directly at the camera lens instead of the screen, as this will help you appear more engaged and attentive to the other participants.<|im_end|>

Okay, got it. Is there anything else I should be aware of?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Yes, one more thing: try to avoid interrupting others and let them finish speaking before you respond. This will help the conversation flow smoothly and avoid any technical issues with the audio.<|im_end|>
