Virtual and Hybrid Presentation Skills for Online Meetings

As African organisations run more meetings across Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet, professionals struggle to hold attention through a camera and connect with a mixed room of in person and remote participants. This practical course shows delegates how to design, rehearse and deliver presentations that land clearly online. Delegates learn to manage screen sharing, lighting, sound and body language so that colleagues in Johannesburg, Nairobi and a home office all stay engaged.

What you will be able to do

  • Prepare slides and talking points suited to small on screen viewing and short attention spans.
  • Set up camera, lighting, microphone and background for a professional remote appearance.
  • Deliver content with energy, pacing and vocal variety that hold a virtual audience.
  • Manage screen sharing, polls and chat without losing the thread of the message.
  • Include both in room and remote participants fairly during hybrid sessions.
  • Handle technical interruptions and questions calmly while staying on time.
