In Person / Online Presentations

Tips for giving a hybrid in person / online Zoom presentation

• Zoom Link: Have your adviser create the Zoom Link so that there is an unlimited time limit to the meeting and a chat.
• Zoom Hosts: Have a trusted friend (or two) registered as Zoom hosts. You (the presenter) do not want to be signed in as a Zoom host. This prevents a window popping up during your presentation, telling you to admit people into the meeting. Leave that work to your trusted friend(s) while you present.
• Don't forget to have your trusted friend(s) assign you as the Zoom host once you are done presenting. This way, you have all access to the Zoom link if a committee member is online after the presentation is over.
• Sharing Your Screen: To avoid the green frame around your powerpoint while presenting, try sharing a window of your computer, then moving the powerpoint presentation into that window (rather than sharing the powerpoint screen directly).
• Using a Clicker: If you're using a fancy hand-held clicker to advance your slides, keep in mind it only works on the computer's active window. If your clicks appears to not be working, try clicking on your presention (with your computer mouse) to make sure it's the active window–then the hand-held clicker should be able to advance the slides.
