Jeff Carlson is back once again to talk about how to look your best on your online meetings. This time, Jeff focuses on using your DSLR as your web cam. You would think it is simple, but there are some tricks and maybe a little hardware that you need to make it work. In the first part of our conversation, Jeff talks about some of those, and the basic question about web meetings: how good do you need to look? (Part 1)
