What are the tools we have available outside a fully equipped video conferencing room?
Today I had to learn it the hard way again. I agreed to speak at a conference, but other circumstances made flying there myself impossible. So we were looking for a technical solutions. The conference organisers were equipped, me to. So we have at our disposal:
- Skype
- Skype for business
- Gotomeeting
- Facetime
The requirement: Remote presentation with good audio, distribution of speaker via his camera, distribution of presentation via the shared screen of the organisers.
Skype does the trick: you set up a meeting, both sides share their camera and on the shared screen you see the presentation. I wanted to use my iphone on a tripod. Also that works very well. But what we could not figure out was, how I could get remote access to the PPT in order to advance slides myself.
Two questions to you, indesign community:
- Can this be done?
- Did we just use the wrong technical set-up and another solution would have been a breeze?
Let me know - because if we all want to/have to fly less, we need solutions like this that work on the click of a button with widely available technology.

5 年mmh - nobody? I thought I can collect some input to make things better... so let me share what we are doing now: 1. Video conferences with Skype using a Jabra microphone and a logitech 920 camera. 2. Personally, I often use my mobile phone on a tripod to get video and sound while I use the computer to connect. Advantage: my main screen is available for sharing files and typing minutes. That is still quite tedious on the phone. 3. personal meeting (still beats the video experience by a long margin).
