Here are a few points to consider to make the most of the interview and to make you look and sound great.

Camera - Try to use a modern device to run Skype on, something with an HD camera and enough horse power and connectivity bandwidth to avoid dropped frames and freezes. Make sure the camera doesn’t have smudges on it and is clean. If you can, test your setup in advance so we can get into our conversation without stress.
Connect - To avoid a last minute delay, we should make sure we are connected on Skype in advance of the day of the interview. Having our phone numbers in Skype contacts is not sufficient, we need to have invited each other to connect and accepted using our Skype IDs. Mine is stevestatler. If I haven’t already sent you an invitation to connect, please send me one from Skype now.
Sound - Find a quiet place to locate your Skype device - ideally a room with no other people around. If there is noise then wear a headset - the regular Apple headset works fine.
Silence - your phone and turn off notifications on your laptop
Light - Make sure your face is well lit and that it is clear on camera. The best lighting is the natural kind. If you can, face into the window.
Angle - Try to position the camera on your device so that its at eye level. Laptops on your desk should ideally be elevated with boxes to avoid a shot up your nose and of the ceiling behind you.
Eye line - Try to have the Skype window showing your caller (me) as near to the camera as you can and try to look at the camera when we talk.
Background - Try to make sure the background to the shot doesn’t upset the camera exposure and represents you well. Having lights and other windows in the background can mess with the exposure. Avoid trash and bags that may distract viewers. Feel free to place your company’s logo on a sign.
Props - If you have a product or a physical offering - bring some samples along so we can do some show and tell in your introduction.
Don’t anticipate - We sometimes share some of the topics or questions we are interested in asking about but please don’t anticipate the questions and get into a monolog. Feel comfortable with short answers.
