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

6. Send Minutes of meeting

Make your next virtual presentation a powerful

one!
