How do you change your presentation for different platforms?

2 In-person platforms

In-person platforms, such as conferences, workshops, or meetings, allow you to connect with your audience face-to-face, but also require you to adapt to the physical environment and the expectations of the event. When preparing your presentation for in-person platforms, you should take into account the size and layout of the room, the equipment and materials available, and the time and format of your presentation. It is important to use appropriate and professional attire and body language that convey your confidence and credibility, as well as suit the occasion and the audience. Additionally, you should utilize visual aids that complement your speech and enhance your message, while also suiting the space and equipment available. Furthermore, you should use verbal and non-verbal cues to communicate with your audience and create rapport, varying your tone, pace, and volume to keep them interested and attentive. Finally, interactive techniques such as questions, discussions, or activities can involve your audience and stimulate their participation; however it is important to manage the time and flow of your presentation.

3 Video platforms

When creating and sharing a presentation on video platforms like YouTube, Vimeo, or TikTok, you need to consider the purpose and genre of your video, the platform and channel you are using, and the audience and algorithm you are targeting. To make sure your presentation works on the platform, you should have a catchy title and thumbnail that captures your audience’s attention and curiosity, as well as a short introduction that hooks them in. Your script should be simple and engaging, delivering your message clearly and concisely while using humor, stories, or examples to make it more personal. You should also use high-quality video with consistent expression that is enhanced with editing tools, effects, or subtitles for a more professional look. It’s important to remember that changing your presentation for different platforms is not a one-size-fits-all solution; it’s a process of adapting and optimizing your content to suit the medium and the audience. By following these tips, you can create a presentation that works on any platform and achieves your objectives.
