- Open the presentation ahead of time, in order to present quickly.
- Ask the participants to mute their microphone and unmute only if needed because the background noise may distract you while presenting.
- If your audience have a network connection problem or if they don’t have a strong internet connection, ask them to turn off their camera.
- You may request the audience to ask questions in the chat box in order to avoid the disrupt and distraction in between the presentation.
- If someone is already presenting before you start your presentation, you can confirm with them that you want to present instead.
- If your camera is on, others can see your video along with your presentation. So, if you like to present without showing your face, you can turn off the camera.
