Thank you for your presentation l really can see my weakness and know the remedies

I never knew how important the background/atmosphere is. I never thought of it like that. This video was very helpful. Thank you for the tips!

Embrace the unexpected is perhaps the best, how we respond shows truly who we are and how professional we are, we let our guard down and audience will truly see that. Thanks for the video!

i love the tip of humanizing the experience. so important to be able to relate and be honest with your audience.

Great video! I never thought of how the background on a video call can effect how others perceive you. Looking directly in the camera always helps because it makes it seem as if you are making eye contact.

Showcasing a warm atmoshpere or a having your space clean imrpoves a virtual presentation. I will have a better background for my final speech that way i show profesionalism. Using bullet points and having it under my camera will change how i read my ntoes instead of loking like my eyes are shifiting. I will use these techniques to improve my speech!

I absolutely love your content Riaz. So many nuggets of gold here. I hold Zoom meetings regularly and I agree with everything you said. I'm pretty good with most things but adding real elements to make it more of a conversation hit home with me which I know I can work on. The goal overall what I hear you saying are ways to make something virtual as real and engaging as possible. Love this.

Taking a pause to think about what's in the chatbox and show appreciation for people's engagement is so important! I've neglected it once or twice and always give myself a Homer "doh!" moment when it happens

@@RiazMeghji I was doing a workshop once at a university and some people weren't able to come in so it was streamed. There was a chatbox that I didn't see but was managed by the hosts and that was even tougher to navigate!

That’s tricky. I’ve found it helpful to map out some good questions with the host beforehand if you’re the speaker, and these responses can help humanize you in the virtual space.

really helpful especially everything being done virtual

I loved all of it Riaz. You kept my attention too! Here is my best take away, Interacting with my scene. When I do my Facebook lives I like to show a little bit of my book shelf. Because I emphasize learning. But some people suggest just a blank clear background. So I should maitain having those books Riaz? I also take notes and ask them to take notes too, as I speak. What do you think? You cannot see this because the saved videos are only in my Facebook group. Great content! Subscribing here.

Thanks Sherifa. Considering your points I think the appropriate background depends on your audience. If it's casual, make it more personal. If it's a professional setting, declutter and make it a cleaner backdrop so your audience can focus on your message. Above all, make it a representation of who you are. Virtual communication is a whole new focus for all of us now.

Good idea to hold a mug and interact with the environment. I often don't know what to do with my hands...

Who uses a mirror in a regular face-to-face meeting? Forgetting about the self view can be a huge help Tanya!

Maintain a good, professional appearance. Bring life in real presence and elements into your delivery, by using props to form connections! Maintaining eye contact can form a sense of intimacy and connection.
