Comment Notifications and Replying via Email

Because of the asynchronous nature of a Vyew Room, invited guests may leave comments at any time. You can get an email when they do.

Subscribing to a Comment Thread

Check the “Email me when someone replies” box to subscribe to a single comment thread.

Subscribing to an Entire Room

Click on the “Subscribe to all comments” icon to activate subscriptions to all comments.

Unsubscribing via Email

You may unsubscribe from a thread by clicking the link at the bottom of the email.

Reply Directly from Email

Type in between the two red lines to post a reply comment back in the Vyew Room. Your comment should show up in the Vyew Room thread within 5 to 10 minutes.

Conducting a Presentation

Tips for Conducting a Presentation

• Etiquette – Join your meeting early and share a “welcome” slide saying your meeting will start shortly. Before the presentation begins, provide a quick review of items such as how to use the chat feature, how to draw (if you make that option available to your audience), how to use the conference call, webcam, etc. (What’s the best communication method? Learn more.)
• Check connectivity – Make sure everything is working properly: slides, video, internet, phone lines, mic, web cam, etc.
• Avoid PowerPoint only – Include animation, photos, videos or other visual aids to make your presentation more interesting.
• Use SYNC mode – Sync mode forces viewers to follow you around from page to page, and synchronizes video.

Other Useful Hints

• Close the sidebar for everyone

  If you want your Vyew Room to have a full screen without the interference of the sidebar, you can close this for everyone you are presenting to.

  1. Hover your mouse over the button that closes the sidebar.

  2. In the pop-up, click Close for all users.

  3. To reopen, hover over the button and choose Open for all users.

• Are users distracting the meeting?

  If you have a large meeting where users might be inclined to distract by drawing or playing with other features, it is recommended that you demote everyone to Viewer permission level. A Viewer can only listen, watch and chat. Also, Viewers do not broadcast their mouse cursor to the meeting like collaborators, moderators and owners do.

• Lead participants from Room to Room

  During a webinar, if you switch to another Room, you’ll be given the option to bring your meeting participants along.

• Kick someone out

  Disconnect a user by clicking on their name in user list and selecting Disconnect.

• Start a private chat

  Click on the Start a private chat button at the top of the chat pod.

Five Ways to Annoy your Audience

• Only read the slides verbatim.
• Make the text too small to read.
• Use full sentences instead of summary bullet points.
• Make slides hard to see by using a poor color choice.
• Use overly complex diagrams and charts.
