As a guide, you should have a minimum of 2 feet of free space around your slip-free yoga mat - with no sharp corners or breakable objects within that free space.
Position your device (camera) to see the full length of your mat, side-on.
Poor Set Up
GOOD: Camera hight
BAD: Lighting
BAD: Positioning
Here the laptop is too close and the backlighting from the window makes it difficult to see.

Good Set Up
GOOD: Camera hight
GOOD: Lighting
GOOD: Positioning
The laptop is on a high chair in the doorway, far enough back to see Bill on the mat.
With the curtains drawn and lights on, the backlighting problem is gone.
Bill is standing in a very small room, if you can go to a bigger room.
NOTE: The camera view must be looking at the full side view of the mat.

Laptop
Best Option *****
Most people find a laptop the best option. It's portable with a big enough screen.
Tablet
A large tablet is almost as good as a laptop.
Desktop With Camera
A desktop gives you a nice big screen to see everything but is not as movable as a laptop.
SmartPhone
The screen is a bit small, so not ideal.
Laptop, iPad/Tablet or smartphone - we prefer a laptop because of the bigger screen
Get ready for class with mat, water and visit the loo
Turn off any background radio or music
Keep your laptop plugged in so you don't run out of power
Position your laptop at tabletop hight
Landscape not portrait - we need to see all of you from the full hight of half-moon to the full length of full locust
No backlighting - if you have a window behind you draw the curtains and switch on your main light
Just like a normal class arrive 10 minutes before the start and log in using the link we've sent by email
If you've already download Zoom join the class, If not go ahead and download
