When To Call The Pros

Not all virtual meetings or events are created equal. Not even close actually. Zoom, Teams, WebX are just meetings with a group of video windows all displayed on a screen. Webinars have a little more to offer but it’s still not something one can stand to engage with for more than 30-45 minutes in most cases. Well produced events using a production stage, professional equipment and skilled technicians create the impactful experience you need to motivate and inspire your audience. Here are 5 instances where you would want to seriously consider including AV production resources for your virtual or hybrid event.

Best Practices for Remote Presenting

Whether you are in-room or remote, you want to make a great first impression. If you are remote presenting over Zoom, Teams, or another video conferencing platform, check out these 12 tips to help you deliver a professional and successful video conference:

Find a quiet room with as little background noise as possible.
Make sure you are professionally dressed.
Sit in the center of the camera shot to ensure proper camera framing.
Make sure your face is well lit by sitting in a room with plenty of light. If you can’t find a well lit room, place a small lamp in front of you but out of the camera view.
Do not sit in front of a window. This will cause the camera to adjust for the light, making your face look very dark.
