Working with Video / Voice conferencingWorking with Video / Voice conferencing
Imagine making a business presentation…
Where your audience is standing behind a wall
It is frustrating on both sides!
This is exactly what happens when we communicate over video or phone or chat conference
The presenter: Cannot see audience reaction
For the audience: it is just a boring voice or video
This happens as…
…parts of our usual communication is missing
2-way Interaction
Reactions
Body Language
Eye Contact
Minimal Rule
The only way to make a successful virtual presentations is to ENGAGE audiences continuously
Engaging audiences includes…
1. Setting up offline
2. Using multiple modes of communication
3. Allocating time for interaction
4. Using voice effectively
5. Sticking to scheduleLet us see each point in detail…
1. Set up offline
Get to the conference early and test all equipment on both sides
Time spent adjusting equipment is very
boring for the audience
Mute cell phone and switch off other distractions
2. Use Multiple Modes of Communication
Email the presentation ahead of time
A visual slide will add more impact to such a presentation!
4. Allocate time for interaction
Presentation
QuestionsOpinions
Polls
Since people cannot see each other…
...they speak at the same time and the presenter becomes
confused
Allocate time for each person and pause between points for
questions
Enforce interaction every 3 minutes. Ask questions,
conduct an online poll etc!
5. Use voice effectively
Enthusiasm in your voice is the key to a more engaged audience
Tip: To appear natural, make someone sit in the room same room and present to them
5. Create schedule
Topic 1
Introduction
Topic 2
…and stick to the time limit set Questions
Call to action
Take other discussions to other modes like emails, one-to-one calls, etc
Finally, a conference call does not end the presentation…
Follow up with minutes of meeting to confirm understanding on both sides
The minutes should contain… Presentation highlights
Answers to questions
Decision taken
To recap…
Engage your audiences more by…
1. Setting up offline
2. Using multiple modes of communication
3. Giving time for interaction
4. Using voice effectively
5. Sticking to schedule
