1 Embrace Tech

To thrive in virtual presentations, embracing technology is non-negotiable. Familiarize yourself with various platforms used for webinars and online conferences. Learn the ins and outs of each, from sharing screens to integrating multimedia elements. Ensure your internet connection is stable, invest in a good quality webcam and microphone, and practice using these tools until they become second nature. Being proficient with technology will minimize hiccups and keep your audience focused on your message.

Having gone through Covid presenting within education systems on a regular basis, it required embracing and adapting quickly to different forms of technology. From teams, to meets, to zoom... every platform was different and every schools system seemed to vary. Learning how to adjust and maneuver security restrictions, log in, and the ability to screen share was a common occurrence. But thanks to technology we were still able to connect.

2 Engage Actively

Active engagement is the lifeblood of virtual presentations. Unlike in-person events where the energy of the room can carry your performance, online you must work harder to maintain attention. Use interactive features like polls, Q&A sessions, and chat functions to involve your audience. Pose thought-provoking questions and encourage participation. By fostering a two-way conversation, you create a more dynamic and memorable experience for your audience.

Audience engagement is always a critical thing to consider for any speaker but especially when presenting virtually. Chat and Q and A sessions are great, but I am a huge fan of polls for several reasons: 1) Polls allow shy or busy members the ability to comfortably participate 2) You can design polls in advance and manage time based on how long you give participants to respond 3) Polls allow you to show/visualize the responses of the group- which adds to the engagement factor.

3 Visual Impact

In virtual presentations, your visual impact is paramount. Design slides that are not only informative but also aesthetically pleasing. Use high-quality images, infographics, and a cohesive color scheme to make your content pop on screen. Keep text minimal and use bullet points to aid comprehension. Your visual aids should complement your speech, not compete for attention, so ensure they are clear and concise.

4 Vocal Variety

Your voice is a powerful tool, especially when your physical presence is limited to a screen. Focus on vocal variety—alter your pitch, pace, and volume to convey emotion and emphasize key points. Practice speaking clearly and avoid monotonous delivery. Remember to pause for effect and to allow your audience time to digest the information. A well-modulated voice can keep your virtual audience engaged and make your presentation more effective.

High energy and change in pace and tone are important to consider for virtual presentations. Be thoughtful and intentional about utilizing reflective questions and utilizing pause after asking. Unlike in person presentations you do not have a room to read. Do not think of silence as awkward but great to emphasize a point.

5 Body Language

Even in a virtual setting, body language remains an important aspect of communication. Position your camera so that your gestures are visible to your audience. Use hand movements to emphasize points and facial expressions to convey enthusiasm or concern. Maintain eye contact by looking at the camera, not your screen. Your body language should be natural and convey confidence, helping to bridge the gap between you and your audience.

6 Continuous Learning

The landscape of virtual presentations is constantly evolving, so commit to continuous learning. Stay updated on new software updates, presentation techniques, and audience engagement strategies. Seek feedback from your audience to understand what works and what doesn't. Attend other virtual presentations to gain inspiration and new ideas. By staying informed and adaptable, you'll be well-prepared for whatever the future of virtual presentations holds.

As with any profession continuous learning can aid speakers in remaining relevant and up to date on technology and current events. As a speaker for teens and young adults, this matters to them. Not always is it about how much knowledge you have but being able to connect on their level with the knowledge you possess.

Develop a positive mindset towards technology. Very often I see speakers visibly irritated with technology or constantly apologizing for their inability to manage it. That discomfort will more often than not pass on to the audience. Remind yourself that even of they are not here in person, you have real people at the other end of the screen. They are listening just like they would in an actual meeting room. Technology is the future, and working with it can help increase your reach. Think of it as a powerful tool to share your message with millions.
