Are you bogged down by technical support issues while you are trying to deliver your content? Do you wish you could just focus on your presentation?
Let eSkillz take care of the “technical stuff” so you can concentrate on what you do best: presenting your content!
Event organizers often assume that virtual events are easy to set up and execute. There is a common misconception that running virtual events is as easy as starting a meeting and inviting participants to join. Unfortunately, most of the time, this is not the case, and such organizers quickly realize that there is a lot more to it than they originally thought.

- Here are a few examples of some of the preparatory steps and components of virtual event delivery that are not always considered:
- How will attendees be joining the session? (desktop app, web app, mobile app)
- How will attendees connect to audio? (VoIP/computer audio, phone, mobile device)
- Will attendees be in listen-only mode, or will they be participating through open mic?
- Do the attendees all have proper headsets, or a mic and speakers at the very least?
- Have the attendees all downloaded the platform app ahead of time
-
These factors will all contribute to either the success or the challenges you experience during your webinar or other virtual event.
In addition to technical requirements, virtual conferencing platforms come with a whole host of useful tools that are often overlooked and underutilized. Such examples are:
-
-
- Engagement tools (polls, breakout activities, whiteboards)
- Participation tools (materials/handouts, emoticons, private chat, group chat, Q&A)
- Feedback tools (surveys, feedback forms, post-event emails)
- Registration (key data points, e.g.: attendee name, organization, location, contact info)
- Branding (company colors and logos, speaker notes, speaker headshot photos)
-
The implications of poor training can further impact employee long-term job satisfaction, performance, job retention, and knowledge loss. Don’t let the “technical stuff” overwhelm you—eSkillz can help!
