For the actual event we will host the call on our own Zoom account. If needed we will turn over screen-share to you for your presentation.
Prior to the event, we recommend you set up a free Zoom account so you can practice working with the interface. Do a mock presentation for practice. If you plan to share your screen and share video or slides, this will allow you to practice for a smooth presentation. Free Zoom accounts allow you to host a meeting up to 45 minutes in length. Following are some general tips. Zoom also has a great getting started guide.
As long as you have a decent internet connection, you will get the best quality audio experience by selecting ‘use my computer’ for audio. Here are a few tips:
Look directly at your camera while speaking. This way your audience will feel more of a connection with you. One trick is to position the ‘active speaker’ window on your screen directly under the camera. This will make it more natural for your gaze to be directly into the camera.
There is a lot that goes into a presentation and it can be overwhelming when you first start. You will need to present your material, manage your participants, and monitor chat for questions and comments from your participants.
When you use full screen options for presenting or sharing videos this can be even more of a challenge. This is why we recommend a practice session if you are new to doing virtual presentation. After one or two run-throughs of your presentation using the on-screen tools you will find a way that works best for you. Following are a few of the tools you will want to understand and be able to comfortably manage during your presentation.
Sign up for a weekly live training from Zoom. And don’t stress. We are a fun group. Plus, with a little practice you will be presenting like a pro in no time.
We do not offer an honorarium at this time.
