The success of your presentation hinges not just on what is in the presentation but also on your confidence in handling the tech behind your slides. I see so many beautifully crafted Google Slides that are presented in a way that detract from the overall effect of the presentation. If it takes a while to dial in the tech, your audience will lose interest.
How you want to present your Google Slides depends somewhat on the circumstances of how you will be presenting and what you will be presenting:
💎 Unless you need to jump between windows, you will likely use the Present option in your Google Slides. It shows a full-screen view and allows the audience to fully focus on your slides.
💎 If you need to jump between tabs in your browser or jump between windows, you can consider exiting the full screen (lower left). Try it! It will become one of your favorite features!
💎 Extra KloudGems:
Hide your Bookmarks bar!
3 dots > Bookmarks > uncheck Show Bookmarks bar.
Do not present from the edit view! It may not render your slides big enough, may have editing marking, and does not show your slides in their full glory.
Consider whether you will be presenting in person or through a video conference. Knowing your tools can help you predict the best way to present.
If you are going to play a video, make sure that the sound is getting picked up in Zoom and that in Google Meet you choose to present A tab.
If you have the opportunity to only present A window or you have a secondary screen, you can also make sure to utilize the Presenter view tools in Google Slides:
Timer
Speaker notes
Q&A functionality
Practice, practice, practice!
