Want to give a presentation over the web with Microsoft LiveMeeting? It’s quick and easy, and with my tips in this six-minute video, you can give a high-quality presentation that attendees will enjoy.
This internet presentation tool is used by PASS chapters – both local and virtual – and Microsoft MVPs get a free LiveMeeting presentation account.
Once you know how to use LiveMeeting, let PASS chapter leaders know that you’re ready, willing, and able to speak remotely. This helps them out when in-person speakers drop out at the last minute, because you can step in and save the day. I also have a page in my blog where I list my ready-to-go presentation topics so that chapter leaders can just pick a topic and hit the ground running.

One small suggestion. You may want to use a different spot in the video as your screen shot. When your mouth is in mid word, the screen shot isn’t flattering.
I do that on purpose. I’m so bizarre – I pick out the funniest screen shot in the first few seconds and use that. I get a laugh out of it. (Like I said, I’m bizarre…)
Good tips. How do you handle demos? Do you then share your desktop or just the app? Would I then need to worry about screen resolution?
Thanks! I share just the one application, and yes, as soon as you do that, you have to worry about screen resolution. It’s painful – attendees with small screens have to scroll around, and attendees with big screens have to squint to see your app.
