No matter what the content of your live webinar is, You'll want to make sure that you and your presenters can be seen and heard clearly. Getting through to your audience is of the utmost priority to making sure your audience sticks around for the whole show. [Click here](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/what-can-i-do-to-prevent-echo-or-feedback?hsLang=en) for some general tips on setting up your environment to optimize your presentation. **Headsets** are going to be the best option for making sure your microphone it's completely separate from the audio that you'll hear inside of the live room.  **Webcam -**  Most new laptop computers come with a webcam built in, but for other devices you'll need an external camera to stream your video to BigMarker. You’ll generally get higher-quality video and more functionality by using an external camera instead of a built-in webcam. **Microphone -** Similar to webcams, many computers include built-in microphones. However, if you want higher-quality audio for presenting, investing in an external microphone is worthwhile. Standalone microphones also typically deliver clearer, richer sound than most headset microphones. When purchasing peripherals to use for your webinars, it's important to ensure that they will work on your Device and operating system. We do not endorse specific brands. Instead, prioritize devices that perform reliably in your setup and keep you comfortable throughout your presentation.
