Description

Doing video and doing video well has just become the cornerstone of a successful business and company.

Our diaries were once filled with face to face meetings, shaking hands and drinking coffee. But now with the Coronavirus & COVID-19 situation we're instead holding so many of our business or personal meetings online in lockdown or quarantine.

Some of us though might be worried that while we were sure we could make a good impression face-to-face, it's just not the same over a video call. We might be frustrated at not being able to set these calls up & get the technology working right or we might be concerned that we're committing a faux pas and not making the meeting a success, we might be worried (if we're salesmen) that it's affecting our sales and our ability as salespeople to get new business in.

Whether you're using Skype, Zoom, WebEx, Google Hangouts or Facetime, these are the problems we aim to help in this course. We want to refine your video calls (whether for business or for your own enjoyment) to be as slick as they are in person. In this course. We'll be covering things like:

Part 1 - Placing a great call:

  • How to get good quality sound.

  • How to light your calls so they can see you.

  • Setting up a backdrop behind you.

  • How to frame your 'shot'.

  • What to wear & not to wear on camera.

Part 2 - Etiquette & dos's/don'ts

  • Helping your meetings stay engaged with you.

  • Etiquette on a 121 call.

  • Etiquette on a group call.

  • Do's & Don'ts for screen sharing.

Part 3: Getting the best from your platform & device

  • Which platform to use for your meeting?

  • Setting up & Using Zoom.

  • Setting up & Using Skype.

  • What device to use?

  • Where to position this device.

Part 4: Equipment & Upgrades

  • Ideas to improve your set up for free.

  • How to effectively upgrade your kit.


Whether you're using Zoom, Skype, Microsoft Teams, WebEx, Facetime, Facebook or another platform, this course aims to help you hold video calls, meetings and video conferencing in the best way possible. These skills can also be used for Webinars, Online Training or video conferences too.
