What equipment do you need for a great virtual talk?

The most important equipment for a virtual talk is your lighting, mic and internet speed. Our speakers all have professional lighting for a crisp look, mics for professional quality  sound and have a high speed internet connection (preferably hardwired) with a back up phone dial in.
