Skype

• Exchange the Skype usernames.
• Do a Skype testcall shortly before the interview - this helps skype to adjust the audio quality algorithm.
• In case of audio quality problems: try to talk as much as possible - the audio quality algorithm tries to find the best settings during the whole call - this only works if there is enough sound.

Screen Sharing: Teamviewer
