Can someone just do this meeting for me? Can I just hire someone to run this virtual town hall? Almost two years into remote meetings, staff are learning the limitations. Sure, people use Zoom and Teams day in and day out. But when you have a major planning day, or an announcement from the VP, a slide show to present and a video montage for someone’s virtual retirement party - that is not the time you want your computer to glitch out. Will someone run your virtual meeting for you?
The answer is yes. We can run your virtual meeting or town hall for you. The very reason we started offering managed Zoom calls (and Teams) is because of the horror stories we were hearing. The retirement video that wouldn’t play is probably still causing nightmares for the person who had organized it and was frantically trying to play it while the honoured retiree sat there amidst a sea of cringing faces. When you want to focus on your content, and your message, let an expert handle the technology.
A conscientious provider will work on a run-of-show with you, and do a dry-run with your team. They will also walk through each step, make sure everyone know how to use the technology - and tests it out - and playback any videos or presentations in advance.
We even helped some clients pre-record important speeches or presentations to make sure they flow smoothly or to cope with time zone challenges. And we’ve actually run videos during meetings that brought tears to the honouree’s eyes.
One of the biggest losses in many virtual meetings and webinars is networking. We have solutions that allow you to speak privately (1-to-1) with another participant, much the way you would while grabbing a coffee or muffin in person.
There are some meetings you can run yourself, and there are others you don’t want to risk. DIY-ing your critical virtual meetings isn’t a good idea. When it’s on the line, having a seasoned support team in place can make all the difference.
