  •  Camera Equipment-Orientation, covering camera placement, focus, and movement in order to ensure that close-up or distance views are available as clinically appropriate, that distractions are minimal, that video images are as natural as possible, and that good eye contact is maintained.
  •  Sound/Volume Control-Orientation/training, ensuring that providers as well as staff at the client site understand how to mute the microphone(s) and adjust the volume so that the provider and client can hear each other clearly.
  •  Picture in Picture or Second Monitor-Orientation/training that ensures that providers as well as staff at the client site understand that clients should not see themselves on TV while receiving TBH services.(http://mhcd.org/sites/default/files/asset_files/TBH%20Protocols%20(1).pdf)
