SPEACH WITH POWER POINT: 10 TIPS FROM TECHNICIANS ON HOW TO AVOID FAILURE
1. Make sure that all participants will see a presentation without distortion.
To adjust the parameters of the slide in PowerPoint, open the tab "Design / Page Setup" and select the appropriate size of your slide - 3x4 or 16x9. For safety we recommend to have a presentation in 2 formats - this will allow you to avoid surprises in the form of image distortion.
2. Always have the adapter with you.
Connecting to a Projector comes through VGA or HDMI ports with cables. If your computer (speaker's) is equipped with a VGA port or HDMI adapters bring with you on one of these ports, since they can not be on location at the right time.
3. Caution: Software for data protection.
If IT engineers have installed the software on a speaker`s computer of data protection, take care of that, so they have removed it. Otherwise there is a risk at the worst possible time to face many challenges, such as the inability to connect to public networks wi-fi, etc.
4. The order of the desktop.
Take the opportunity to expand your desktop on the monitor 2. So you can hide files and folders on the main desktop of your computer from the audience in the hall.
5. Youtube and other online services and sites.
If the presentation used direct links, we hasten to warn you of possible failures. It is better to pre-download all of the files on the computer, enter the addresses of links on them and do not worry.
6. Comments to the slides sees only the speaker.
If you want to have on your computer screen were visible comments and the following slides, and the audience on the big screen have only seen a slide - adjust the slideshow using the "Mode speaker" by opening the tab "Slide Show" and by checking on the option "speaker mode" .
7. Slide switch (Presenter).
Pre-order from the organizer of the slide switch in the presentations. It is much more convenient than standing always at the computer. In addition, you can use it as a pointer. There is also a modern alternative solution - to install Office Remote on the phone and use your own clicker.
8. Do all see the fine print on the slides? Typically 2-3 meters, or 60%.
Do you want to review a presentation created as a spectator? Look at your laptop screen with a slide from a distance of 2-3 meters. Can not see? So that's all right. You can also set in the "Slide Sorter" scale of 60% to get an answer to the same question.
9. Do not leave the testing equipment at the last moment.
It is highly recommended for a day (a couple of days is better) to test your presentation on the guest hardware. Confidence in the proper equipment to work together and your devaysa, give the status of performance is guaranteed success.
10. Fallback.
Always have a backup version of the presentation on removable media (USB flash drive, memory card), a cloud service or mailbox, in printed form. And then the performance will take place in any weather and turn of events.
P.S. And a little creative inspiration for speaker. Recommended to master you or your speakers legendary book by Nancy Duarte. Nancy Duarte - founder of Duarte Design, one of the largest companies in Silicon Valley, engaged in the design, and a recognized leader in the development and creation of presentations. Her books-bestsellery- «Resonate: audience grasp its colorful history» and «Slide:ology. The art of creating outstanding prezenatatsy ".
