Pre-recorded presentations should all be as uniform as possible and should be created via one of the following options:
We need to have a clear video of slides for the duration of the presentation. Please introduce yourself with a video of yourself, then switch to showing just the slides. If you are unable to use a video to introduce yourself, include a professional picture of yourself on your introductory slide.
Be sure to wear headphones or a headset with a boom microphone. If you wear headphones without a boom microphone, carefully hold the microphone away from your clothes so they do not rub and create distracting background noises in your presentation.
Before recording your entire presentation do a quick test; start recording; say a sentence at normal volume, show your slides, and stop recording. Play it back and make sure it is something that everyone can accurately see and hear.
Staff will review presentations to ensure adequate video and sound quality and may ask you to re-do your presentation. There will be a hard deadline for this to be done to ensure time to edit presentations prior to their scheduled presentation time.
