Use a headset mic - the sound quality will be better and you'll have both hands free to operate your keyboard/mouse and to gesticulate as you talk. Your audience may not see you, but if you stop yourself gesticulating you'll sound very flat and boring. Turn of anything you can on your computer - things that run in the background such as the obvious (from automatic backups to screen-savers) to the less obvious, such as virus checkers. Why? Because they'll slow your machine down and Sod's Law being what it is they'll pop up a window at the wrong moment! Practice - well yes, that's obvious, I know, but you'll be amazed at how many people think they can wing it... Use Macros - or at least have any commands you have to type already typed somewhere so that you can copy/paste. That way you can not only check they work but you make sure there are no typos....

Hosting a remote presentation introduces a whole new set of challenges, and you've done a great job of outlining strategies on how to deal with them. The complexity multiplies when you throw in a software demo in addition to the slide (Rocket!) show. Thanks! Matt Gambino Founder, DemoFish.com These are 5 rules to live by!
