When presenting in a boardroom, confident delivery and relevant information is key to success; however, it’s a little bit different when you’re presenting from home. Home presentations require relevance, confidence, plus a range of equipment to make the presentation run smoothly. If you’re not sure what type of equipment you should have for a home presentation, we’ve got you covered! Here are a few must-haves for an at-home presentation:
External webcam
An external webcam is one of the most important pieces of equipment that you could invest in for your at-home presentation. While it may not be one of the first things that you think of due to the default camera on your device, having an external webcam is imperative as it will drastically enhance the quality of your video and increase the chance of individuals placing their sole focus on your presentation.
External microphone
Listening to a presentation with bad audio is not only incredibly difficult, but incredibly annoying. No one wants to sit through an important presentation if they’re only hearing half of the information due to static sound or loss of audio all together. In order to engage your audience and ensure that they hear every piece of information you are relaying during your home presentation you will need to purchase an external microphone. Considering whether you will stand or sit while presenting will help when choosing a microphone for your presentations.
Lighting
Lighting equipment is a definite must-have for all your home presentations. It can be very distracting for audience members if they are listening to you present with a lighting that is only good for casting shadows. We recommend investing in lighting equipment that will create a well-lit space for you to present in.
