The way many of us work has dramatically changed in recent weeks, with millions embracing the challenges of working from home. That means the need to keep in contact using the latest technologies is more important than ever.
With video calls from mobile phones, tablets and laptops now a staple of our day for many of us, our video and creative team offer some handy tips on how to make sure you’re presenting your clearest, brightest self – even if you are still sat in your pyjamas!
