When you run a webinar, people see your desktop and hear you live, which means that only you present some kind of presentation that people can both see, read, and hear, but you can adjust and adapt what you present based on user feedback. In other words, you can have the kind of training that is unique to anything else anywhere, because in other situations people would have to watch videos or read books, but with you, the training changes according to your audience. Go ahead and make that next webinar a whole lot more fun by bringing on panelists, reading audience questions, and using your drawing pen to illustrate a point.
When you run a webinar, there are three types of people. There's the organizer or the presenter, that is you, the person that shows their screen who has control over the entire webinar. They can read questions, kick people off, and so on. But you also have attendees. These are people who can view the webinar and do nothing else. They can't see who else is on the webinar, they can see questions others have typed, they can view and that's it. But in between these two levels is the panelist level. When you have panelists on a webinar, it means that these people can speak and be heard. They are unmuted along with you while the rest of the audience is muted. You can bring on debt experts and present on a subject you know very little about and still be perceived as the expert because you brought the panelist on the call.
Speaking of positioning yourself as an expert, you can allow your viewers or attendees to guide the direction that your training takes. Most webinar software allows user to type things into what's called the question box. This is not a hat box. No other attendees can see what is typed. You are the only one who can see it. If somebody has a question about a topic you haven't thought of or needs repeat clarification, you can go back and adjust your training based on what people type. Finally, a very underused tool in screen presentations and webinars is the pen. There is a tool where you can literally draw on the screen. You can draw diagrams, draw words, draw pictures and make a point better than if you had simply spoken it out. Those are three very minor but effective adjustments you can and should make on your very next webinar. Bring on guest panelist experts, look at the question box every once in a while to see if your audience needs help with something, and use your drawing pen to illustrate your point.
