Presentation Manager Training 

  • Sharing Welcome Videos

Before the start of the first session on each day the Course Supervisor managing the presentation will show a Welcome video. This video is a loop of slides set to music. 

  1. Setting audio levels
  2. Playing the Welcome Video before the start of Days 1 to 3
  3. Playing the Welcome Video for “Launching your Forum”
  4. Playing the Welcome Video for The Final Session
  5. The “Loop/Video” method

1— Setting the Audio Levels

The intention of the music in the Welcome videos is to provide a background that sets the mood while getting ready for the session to start. 

The music should be in the background. Think of this as “hotel lobby music.” It should be audible but low enough so a person can comfortably have a conversation above it without raising their voice. 

To achieve this set the audio level in the Zoom video player as low as it can go without being off.
