Complete this checklist before your video interview.
Most people cannot see their own lighting problem — your eyes adjust to the room, the camera does not. This takes about five seconds and measures what the interviewer will actually see and hear.
Nothing is recorded, uploaded or kept. Your camera image becomes two numbers and is thrown away; the sound never leaves this page.
The part we cannot check: whether somebody will walk in. Tell the people you live with the time, put a note on the door, and take the interview in the room with a door that closes.
Stable connection is essential for video interviews.
Position your camera at eye level for natural eye contact.
Clear audio is more important than video quality.
Know your tools before the interview starts.
Good lighting makes you look professional and engaged.
Minimise distractions and background noise.
Dress professionally from head to waist at minimum.
Be ready well before the interview starts.

These pages describe what interviewers commonly look for. They cannot tell you what a specific interviewer decided, and nothing here guarantees an interview, an offer or a visa. Practising is preparation — it shows you what to fix next.
