    • Before Your Presentation

      • Test Your Tech: Check your internet connection, microphone, camera, and lighting at least a day in advance.

      • Use a Laptop/Desktop: Avoid using phones or tablets unless absolutely necessary. A stable setup improves audio/visual quality.

      • Find a Quiet Spot: Try to present from a quiet, well-lit space with minimal distractions in the background.

      • Join Early: Log into the meeting at least 15 - 20 minutes before your scheduled time so we can do a quick tech check and help with anything you need.

      During Your Presentation

      • Be Camera-Ready: Turn your camera on while presenting if possible. It helps engage the audience.

      • Audio: Try to use headset or microphone can make a big difference in sound quality.

      • Watch the Time: Try to stay within your allotted time so everyone gets their full session.

      Q&A
