We want you to have your camera on. Admittedly, many blind people aren’t used to having their camera on and may not have a good sense of how they are presented on camera. We are providing an opportunity for our team members to meet with Tracy Yeager to get their camera set up, ensure you are viewable in your camera, that your background is OK and address other typical problems.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Tracy is an AIRA Agent and is used to providing blind people with guidance on camera positioning.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Note: We are still glad to have you participate if you don’t have a camera set up. It is not a requirement, but it is what the legislators expect.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We have established the following time:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Monday, January 17 between 5:30 PM and 7:30 PM.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please note, you can drop by during this time window and preferably not at the beginning of the time window to get advice from Tracy. Tracy will work with each person individually and you will be in her waiting room until she lets each person in for a camera consult. As an AIRA virtual agent, Tracy is very skilled at helping people to position their camera, adjust equipment positioning, and make things work.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Typical problems include being too close to the camera, having the camera looking up your nose, and presenting you with too much or too little lighting. I have had the camera only showing my forehead, presenting me with a glow that makes it look like I am talking from a medieval painting, or having the camera angled to look up my nose.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We are expecting you to be attending these meetings in attire appropriate for meeting with legislators. If you want to check out your look, Tracy Yeager is glad to provide insights.
