A high-quality picture gives your presentation more eye appeal and projects a professional image. You can take steps to make things look good. \u200b<\/p>\n Lighting is the key to making a good impression. \u200b<\/p>\n If too dark, you\u2019ll look menacing; too bright, and you\u2019ll look goofy. \u200b<\/p>\n Make sure the light come from your front or sides.\u200b[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”37335″ img_size=”full” animation_type=”bounceIn”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner animation_delay=”1000″ el_class=”drop-shadow” css=”.vc_custom_1707238775832{margin-bottom: 30px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;border-radius: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Place your webcam at eye level on the same screen you use to view the webinar. Don\u2019t put the camera angle too high or too low; you want to look directly at it. If you\u2019re running your webinar on a laptop using the built-in webcam, place your device on a laptop stand or box at eye level.\u200b[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”37342″ img_size=”full” animation_type=”bounceIn”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner animation_delay=”1500″ el_class=”drop-shadow” css=”.vc_custom_1707238784203{margin-bottom: 30px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;border-radius: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Before you start your webinar, make sure your microphone picks up the right amount of sound. If it picks up too much, it may cause squeaks, echo, and distortions. If it doesn\u2019t pick up enough, your audience won\u2019t hear you.\u200b<\/p>\n Configure your audio settings in advance on your laptop (or another device) and the webinar room. Check that the microphone you want to use is selected in the audio setting of your webinar software.\u200b<\/p>\n And make sure it\u2019s turned on.\u200b[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”37507″ img_size=”full” animation_type=”bounceIn”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner animation_delay=”1500″ el_class=”drop-shadow” css=”.vc_custom_1707238792392{margin-bottom: 30px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;border-radius: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Close windows and doors and turn off air conditioners to avoid distracting sounds picked up by your microphone. In a home office, take the dog outside, put the baby to bed, and finish your laundry before your live webinar. Silence your devices, including applications you may be running on the device you use for your event.\u200b[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”37523″ img_size=”full” animation_type=”bounceIn”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner animation_delay=”1500″ el_class=”drop-shadow” css=”.vc_custom_1707238799479{margin-bottom: 30px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;border-radius: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Connectivity problems are among the most frustrating technical problems experienced during a webinar. Too many users on a network or poor-quality Internet at remote locations can cause problems ranging from disconnection to time delay between picture and words. If you anticipate issues with your internet connection, consider pre-recording your presentation.\u200b[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”37516″ img_size=”full” animation_type=”bounceIn”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner animation_delay=”1500″ el_class=”drop-shadow” css=”.vc_custom_1707238805869{margin-bottom: 30px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;border-radius: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n To reduce the chance of technology failure halfway through your webinar, test everything in advance.\u200b<\/p>\n Use the same equipment, from laptop to cables, that you plan to use for the real thing. Equally important, go through the features of your software and webinar room and make sure you know how to use them.\u200b<\/p>\n You absolutely must practice the entire presentation all the way through.\u200b[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”37517″ img_size=”full” animation_type=”bounceIn”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”ENGAGEMENT EXCELLENCE” tab_id=”engagement-excellence”][vc_row_inner animation_delay=”500″ el_class=”drop-shadow” css=”.vc_custom_1707238730949{margin-bottom: 30px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;border-radius: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Encourage audience participation through polls, Q&A sessions, or chat features. \u200b Keep your presentation focused on key points to maintain audience attention.
