1. Move slower than normal
Depending on your users’ internet connection, there is a 2-5 second delay between what is on your screen, and what your users see.
* Move your mouse half as fast as you normally would
* After screen changes (like opening a new window), wait 3-5 seconds before continuing your presentation.
2. Use your mouse wisely
Users whose screens are smaller then yours, default to a panning technique, where the images of your desktop are panned to where you mouse is. If you have a large screen, and you want people to see the lower right corner, move your mouse there. Since users’ screens pan towards your mouse, dont’t move around eraticly.
3. Check in with your users
Every few minutes, stop to make sure you users are following you, and understand.
Tip: Showing a large screen
If you want your users to see your whole screen without having to pan, you can try lowering your monitor resolution to a smaller setting, such as: 1024x768, or 800x600.
Tip: Blurry text?
Desktop sharing imaging is optimized for speed, so sometimes small text may look blurry to viewers. If you are specifically showing text, here are some ideas:
— Make the text larger on your screen
— Advise viewers to keep their zoom at 100% (not at “Show All")
— Use ScreenCapture to capture a section of your desktop into your VyewBook
