We spend hours of our workday on platforms like Teams, Zoom, Gmeet, Webex, sharing our slides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people think that <strong>online presentations are necessarily boring:<\/strong> you can&#8217;t interact with your audience as you would in person, we are subject to technological barriers, sometimes the audience turns off their cameras, and it&#8217;s impossible to assess their level of attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How can we counter these difficulties and <strong>make online presentations more engaging?<\/strong><br>During the pandemic, I started asking myself this question, and now, after years of experiments, I\u2019ve realized that our online presentations have much to learn from the world of online streaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For younger generations, it\u2019s common to follow streamers on Twitch or YouTube, often related to gaming, but not necessarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Streaming is a form of online entertainment <\/strong>that young people find truly engaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this guide, I\u2019ll explain how I\u2019ve transferred and adapted the presentation and entertainment techniques typical of the streaming world to online presentations to make them more engaging and memorable.<br>Get ready though, because <strong>presenting like a streamer will leave your audience speechless<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that everyone is used to the usual screen-shared presentation, preceded by a: I\u2019m going to share my screen, can you see it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-does-it-mean-to-present-like-a-streamer-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_does_it_mean_to_present_like_a_streamer\"><\/span>What does it mean to present like a streamer?&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The great advantage lies in <strong>controlling the scenes in real time<\/strong>. When you normally present, you can only show two scenes to your audience:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 The speaker talking from one of the small squares in the grid of all participants&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 The speaker in a small square within the participants&#8217; grid and the large slide (the famous shared screen)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, switching from one scene to another is cumbersome and requires you to choose whether to share the screen or a window, and possibly the specific window.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, you will have to announce that you are about to share your screen,<strong> interrupting the flow of your speech.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Presenting like a streamer means having unlimited scenes at your disposal and being able to switch them in real time<\/strong> as if you had a live production crew supporting you, except that you are the crew!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get started, all you\u2019ll need are three scenes and one camera angle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-separator uagb-block-31806d12\"><div class=\"wp-block-uagb-separator__inner\" style=\"--my-background-image:\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Which camera to use for high-quality streaming?<\/strong><br>Recently, I purchased the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Razer-Kiyo-Ultra-Webcam-Built\/dp\/B0CT6FFK4R\/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=3DI3BV6ZREH2Q&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bwRM2xGPwNy7WKbIhKpOq-6arcHTBROTPYh0xOVyCuyTnPNAxVQB31tLR4cqVc1PS0XEB8aoj0YWMjp1A3kzCTK6oXu40wU1mHieh98ZJ15GZxSNbBmM7IOazRanxDsQsT2_UMHEi2ARLVJOlkD9HAaL9cdt4DcbwPPK7f3r_xgb_OCda0Mwktx6tT9Tk8Tabu7t2pDhP1zX3A50HOk7PwZcXlMiGehmy3zStEmG1aI.4cemb3a-beQt5QFuvZQNpodHNvRfI6d7D0MAnSd-RQM&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=Razer+Kiyo+Pro+Ultra&amp;qid=1729257463&amp;sprefix=razer+kiyo+pro+ultra%2Caps%2C285&amp;sr=8-1-spons&amp;sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&amp;psc=1\">Razer Kiyo 4k<\/a>, and I believe it\u2019s a great compromise, offering good streaming quality and ease of use.
