A state-of-the-art video conferencing system can take your presentations and meetings from blah and boring to exciting and visually engaging. Even so, the best video conferencing presentation is only as good as your preparations. If your presentations have left your audience uninterested, check out our tips for a better experience the next time you're at the podium.
Choose great software.
If you've depended on PowerPoint slideshows for the last ten years, maybe it's time to refresh your presentations with something a lot more interesting. Some popular presentation software choices include Keynote for Mac users, Google Slides, and Prezi.
Reach more viewers with apps.
Apps that allow presenters to share video conferencing sessions with more viewers are now available. Features vary, so plan ahead to decide which app works best for your requirements. Both GoToWebinar and GoToMeeting are popular choices.
Prepare your documents.
Your hard copy documents will need to be converted well ahead of your presentation. Use your multifunction system to scan and convert key paper documents. By saving them to a document management system, you'll be able to access them in seconds and give your audience a smooth video conferencing presentation.
Prepare your venue.
Your circumstances will determine whether you can visit your presentation venue ahead of time or not. In either case, you'll have a better experience if you consult with tech personnel well in advance of your meeting. Find out if someone will be available to handle technical set-up and take-down. If you need a microphone or other specialized equipment, ask ahead of time and then plan to arrive early for testing and to work out any kinks.
