Engagement during a virtual event requires effort. And tons of it. Pre-recordings in preparation for a virtual event can relieve unneeded stress, allowing you to reallocate your energy towards satisfying your attendees. With lots of pre-recorded content, a virtual event becomes seamless, organized, and professional.

Benefits of Pre-Recordings

  • Timing is under your control. Eliminate the stress of going over time limits.
  • Pre-recorded content can be edited, allowing for better graphics and a more professional visual experience.
  • Speakers can gain the technological help they need from crew members who are here to help them through the process.
  • Obtain a plethora of talks and presentations ready to be pieced together for the perfect virtual event.

At SlidesLive, a basic pre-recording package, meant for events with a large number of speakers, is meant to alleviate an event planner’s strain.

How does it work?

  1. SlidesLive sends out a pre-recording link to all of your speakers. There is no download involved.
  2. Speakers pre-record themselves, taking as many tries as they’d like.
  3. SlidesLive receives all of the pre-recordings and edits them for your event.

It’s that simple. The stress of handing over the presentation to another individual virtually is no longer a worry for speakers, and your virtual event now works seamlessly to include all speakers and presentations without interruption.

SlidesLive also offers another option for pre-recordings. Under the premium pre-recording option, your speakers who need individual help recording their talk will gain access to a SlidesLive team member. That team member will get in touch with your speaker and record their talk for them.

How to Look Good for the Web Camera

  1. Sit straight in the middle of the screen with your chest and head showing.
  2. Make sure you have a clear background.
  3. Record in a bright room during the day.
  4. Introduce yourself, smile, and make a great impression!

For a SlidesLive Specific Pre-Recording…

  1. Use Google Chrome, and make sure your webcam and microphone are both working.
  2. Speak loud enough for your viewers!
  3. Put your presentation on fullscreen mode.
  4. Hide your mouse behind the “sharing screen” bar at the bottom of your page.

During a time where everyone is going virtual, event planners must ask themselves: What is making my event stand out? Zoom fatigue is happening, and attendees are looking for a new and engaging virtual event. And reaching that level is not just going to happen. In order to reach maximum virtual engagement, careful planning is a must. Pre-recordings are an easy way to get started and focus on the more important aspects of your event.

So eliminate those moving pieces. Make things easy. Join SlidesLive.
