Re: Recording video at home - which platform to recommend for presenters?

 

For those without a great internet connection, a browser-based recording option can result in poor quality and frustrated interrupted recording. In these environments, I've been experimenting with Microsoft Office 365's option to "Record Slide Show" from within PowerPoint.

Pluses:
  • Easily simultaneously record your slide and the video of you talking
  • Resize and move the video of you talking so it doesn't cover any important slide content
  • Go back to change spelling mistakes in slides after?having recorded your narration.
  • Delete and re-record slide by slide, instead of either editing a final video or (for those without editing abilities) redoing the entire video.
Deltas:
  • Saving the final product as an mp4 takes a bit of processing power, so may freeze up on older computers
  • Still need to share the video somewhere - although many of my collaborators simply share in Dropbox (either a shared folder or their own folder and then they send me the Dropbox link to the mp4)

You could also give Capto a go, we use that as we¡¯ve found it has great quality of playback.
I think there is a trial, and then a cost.?
We use it to also insert screengrabs into the video so it has easy to use editing functionality and the self-driven learning video tutorials are also helpful.

Recording video at home - which platform to recommend for presenters?

 

Hello dear facilitation enthusiasts!

I am organizing a f2f Citizens Assembly this weekend and some of the presenters are afraid of COVID and want to present digitally.
I know we have already exchanged about this, but cant find the platform recommendation about recording videos at home in good quality.?
Anyone from the top of your head?

Many thanks,
Melinda from Hungary

Hey Kara,

Thank you for making us all aware of this - I¡¯ve actually been recently working on a research project centred around civil discourse. We¡¯re looking to release a bunch of our findings in the form of case studies some time this month (but maybe not in time for the 12th)!

I¡¯d be keen to hear more about what you¡¯re planning and how you¡¯re looking to execute the session :-)

Re: Thread for People Trying to do Large (150+) Online Gatherings #large #facilitation #meetingdesign

 

Greetings everyone,?

What an amazing pool of knowledge?we have on this group!?

Thanks Michelle for starting this.

I have been using Zoom for less than 200 participants and that's about the right size for not needing to move into?a different?platform.

The one I would recommend for large groups (+100) would be Qiqo chat and Lucas already stepped in on this thread.?

Of course, for even larger events you may consider Hector's advice on finding a MICE provider and Cvent or even IQVIA (a big?pharma?supplier for their congresses) comes to mind.?

??



@Steve your upcoming 5 day annual conference seems to be quite a challenge and to engage 1500-2000 'outside' I would immediately?think about Thought Exchange and Hector is the go to person on that one and, why not, GroupMap??

Other company names that come to mind are Maestro Conference / Voice Voice, we are running a series of sessions during FacWeek so I am still in the process of finding out more.? But Maestro's staff are quite friendly and I am sure they could help you.?

Wishing you all?the best,?

This is a landmark event with a huge need for the community it serves to continue the sharing of ideas and experiences into the future, the core of this conference being around how to serve the needs of child protection, education. and health in future epidemics and pandemics

I think this question of creating inclusivity and also creating ongoing community actions and learning is pretty interesting
