There are 3 methods to present your material (slides):

1. Present the material yourself via the share function within Zoom.
2. Enable the host to control and present your material on your PC remotely (This requires prior arrangement with the host; not suitable on OS X).
3. The host presents your material on your behalf while you talk and prompt the host when to advance and/or change the material.

Option 1 of presenting your own material is the preferred option, but we know that this may not be always possible.

Options 2 & 3 require prior arrangement with the event host. The preferred format of the material is MS-PowerPoint or PDF.

As a precaution, it is preferred that all presentation material is provided to the event host before the event. This enables the host to present on your behalf if necessary.

You may wish to present with no interruptions or offer a more interactive presentation with the attendees able to interrupt and ask questions.

1. Explain to the attendees at the beginning of the presentation what type of feedback and involvement you require.
2. If you wish to not be interrupted; ask the host to mute everyone’s mic. remembering to unmute your own before you start.
3. You may wish for the attendees to use the hand raising function to enable to stop and answer questions.

If you wish to use the hand raising function, either you and/or the host have to watch for the hand-raising icon next to each attendees name in the Participants screen. The host or attendee can lower the hand icon after the question has been answered.
