People will be glued to your screen!
“Let me share my screen,” says literally everyone these days. Here's how to make those screen shares effective so that people on the other side of the screen actually want to listen up.
Present like a pro with these apps
Make it clean, quiet, and non-embarrassing
First, prepare your Mac for an upcoming screen share.
PliimPRO is an instant presentation mode that does the following:
- Hides desktop icons
- Changes your wallpaper (if it’s too personal)
- Conceals active apps
- Disables notifications
Each of these options is available and easy to toggle from the menu bar.
Did you know? Sharing an app window instead of an entire screen is easier on your Mac’s CPU. Don’t believe us? Run a quick test with iStat Menus, a real-time CPU monitor.
Present on a big screen, stress-free
What if you're back to a real meeting room? Connect your Mac to a TV or projector and share only a selected window using CleanPresenter.
Keep your audience focused and stop worrying about desktop mess or inappropriate notifications. You can also choose a stunning wallpaper from the CleanPresenter collection.
Draw on the screen
How do you point to things when sharing your screen? Most meeting platforms have some kind of enlarge-the-cursor feature. This is certainly helpful, but you can do better with Presentify.
Annotate, highlight, and draw anywhere on the screen. Use different colors and gradients to guide your audience’s attention and well…have fun!
Speak so that people want to listen
Your screen shares are useless without you and your voice. You have to sound confident and persuasive. No worries, Speeko will help you gear yourself up. It’s a digital public speaking coach, with a huge choice of exercises and courses that will teach you to give better online presentations.
Speeko can even sync with your meeting service, listen to how you give presentations, and provide feedback based on that.
