In this paper we study the best constant of the Sobolev trace embedding ${{H}^{1}}(\Omega )\,\to \,{{L}^{2}}(\partial \Omega ),$ where $\Omega$ is a bounded smooth domain in ${{\mathbb{R}}^{N}}.$ We find a formula for the first variation of the best constant with respect to the domain. As a consequence, we prove that the ball is a critical domain when we consider deformations that preserve volume.
