HOW TO ADJUST YOUR RECORDING AREA
Every recording area is crucial. Your students should feel comfortable with your course.
They should be able to focus all the time. Make sure your audio and video are clear. Remove any object that might create disturbances and try to keep your camera as stable as possible. You can make a recording area in your home without investing abundantly.
Steps to follow ahead of recording
Every course needs a distinct environment.
Below are some points you can follow according to the needs of your course:
For theoretical subjects, you may use a whiteboard or an interactive whiteboard. Make sure your board is visible properly. You may also show presentations or present other screens and do voice-over properly. Make sure that students can understand your concepts accurately.
For subjects where you need to perform physical work, adjust your camera such that your work is visible properly along with you.
For videos requiring screencasts, cast your screen and do a voice-over accurately.

Keep the display ratio 16:9.
Recording area Settings

When you have to record yourself, use proper lighting so that your face is visible clearly.
