Hosting a Remote Meeting, Part 2
Once you press the Start Meeting button, you are taken into the Remote Meeting Manager. Here's how it works:
- First you'll need to log in to the Remote Meeting Manager using your regular SlideRocket email address and password.
- The people you sent invites to will show up here as they log in. When everyone's name appears...
- ...click the Start Presentation button. Alternately, you can click Start Presentation before everyone shows up...it all depends on if you want people to see the first slide before you're ready to start or not.
- Once you've started the presentation you're remote-controlling everyone else's computer. As you advance to the next slide, everyone else's slide will advance too. That way, you can lead the meeting and know that everyone's seeing what you're seeing. The best part is that your audience can't skip ahead to another slide...they have to wait for you. To advance, just click anywhere on the current slide or...
- ...you can move your cursor to the bottom of the slide and use the Jump menu to skip to a particular slide or use the navigation buttons to go (in order) 1. to the very first slide of your presentation, 2.to the previous slide, 3. to the next slide, and 4. to the very last slide of your presentation.
- Press the Fullscreen button to make the presentation appear full screen on your computer only (SlideRocket does not currently allow you to remotely place your audience members into fullscreen mode, but you can tell them to press the button themselves for a richer experience).
- When you are done, press the End Meeting button to end the meeting for all of your audience members.
