Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

In this pandemic era, you’re more likely to give presentations online than in person, so it’s a great time to brush up on your presentation and adjust them for a virtual setting. Check out the tips below on engaging your audiences online and holding their attention throughout your online presentation.
Keep your camera on
If you want people to pay attention to you when you present online, make sure they can see your face. Virtual presentations often include screen shares and visual aids that block the speaker from view. It helps when you put all the content of your presentation next to you on screen, so you can keep that face-to-face connection with your audience, even when you refer to something visually.
Make eye contact
Make sure you are not too close or too far away from the camera and look into the camera when you’re speaking, so your audience can feel as though you’re speaking to them. Your camera should be at about eye-level to make it feel natural and easy.
Set the scene
Ensure the background of your video is neatly arranged and that there aren’t any distracting pieces.
Use Less text, more images
A great way to make your presentation stand out and keep your audience engaged is by including good images in your presentation. Just by doing this your audience is likely to remember about 65% of the information three days later. If you add text, you might want to slow down and let your audience read it before moving on.
Avoid tech Hiccups
do a test run to make sure everything on your computer is working smoothly and that you’re comfortable with your audio and camera setup. And if you want to avoid any possibility of an on-the-spot technical issues, record your presentation ahead of time and share it with your audience.
Good luck!!
