Hi,

A video interview is a bit harder since you have less personal contact.

I would provide some general recommendations:

First of all, check whether they are providing a conference room in a local office
If not - find a place with good internet speed and test it multiple times before the interview. Also, think of nice room / proper light for the video conference if you do it from home
You should be dressed the same as for the regular interview
Don't hesitate to ask clarifying questions if there are problems with connection or you were not able to hear something
Don't forget to look at the camera and smile - same as you do on a regular interview

Best,
