Pre-Videoconference Checklist for Presenters |
Making a presentation in a videoconference can be quite exciting. There are many different presentation tools available to use so you can deliver a great presentation. There are some things that everyone in a videoconference needs to be sure to do BEFORE walking into a videoconference, and if you're making a presentation, there are few extra preparations you should make.
- Have your presentation prepared. Knowing your presentation well will improve the flow of the videoconference.
- Time your presentation. Any successful presentation will fall into its designated time limit. It's always good to know how long a presentation will be, so that all sides of a videoconference can be prepared.
- Be sure that your presentation works. It makes a big difference whether your presentation is delivered over a computer, a laptop, a VCR or DVD player, or through use of a document camera. Making sure that the facility is capable of playing your presentation is important FAR IN ADVANCE. If you need to make changes, or if the room needs to find adequate resources to play your presentation will have to be taken care of in advance.
- Does the computer have the right software? It's very important to know whether you are using PowerPoint, Keynote, or another program to deliver your presentation. The appropriate software needs to be installed on the computer that you will be delivering your presentation on.
- Make copies of your presentation. A spare copy of your presentation can avoid unforseen mishaps.
- Have copies of your presentation at the remote sites. If there is a problem with the presentation, or with the video feed of your presentation, having a copy of your presentation at the remote sites will allow participants at the other locations keep up with you.
- Test your presentation in the videoconference room. You should arrive a little early to ensure that your presentation will work when it needs to. Make sure that all movies, sound, etc. work correctly. Look at text slides to see that the formatting is correct (this can vary from computer to computer).
