I know many camera clubs have been trialing remote meeting services so they can continue to deliver a lecture programme and a chance for members to interact in these difficult times. I’d got lots of lectures booked this year and who knows when clubs will open their doors again - so I’ve been testing several remote meeting services & I’m now ready to go.
I’ve successfully delivered my lectures using Zoom & GoToMeeting, but my preference is for Zoom because it delivers videos better.
If you’ve not used a remote meeting service before you should try it - it really couldn’t be easier. Just click on a link in an email & you can join a group of up to 100 people and watch the lecture live in your own living room on a pc, mac, tablet or phone - plus if you have a microphone you can ask questions and chat to other members. It doesn’t necessarily have to be at the time (or day) of your normal club meeting - just a mutually convenient time for all.
Here’s how it would work;
I’d send the club organiser a link which they would then send on to interested club members. Alternatively the club hosts the meeting and invites me to be a co-host. The end result is the same…
At the agreed time we’d all log on & I’d deliver the lecture
You would see my PowerPoint presentation on your screen & hear my voice via your computer speakers
There would be time at the end for a Q&A session
If you’d like a quick demo just drop me an email or give me a call (07767 208784) - it’d only take 10 minutes and it would give you an insight into how you might be able to use it for your club, regardless of whether you want to book one of my lectures. Click here for a bit more info
Here's how it would look from your end...
