      Presenter Best Practices with Teams and EventBuilder

      EventBuilder is your partner in producing the best virtual events and webinars possible. We know and have seen firsthand the importance of a smooth content delivery experience for success.

      The following are EventBuilder's recommendations and best practices for effortless presentations on Microsoft Teams with EventBuilder.

      Pre-event Recommendations

      • We recommend installing the current Teams client.
      • Your audio will be connected via Teams; for optimal audio quality, we suggest a PC headset.

      • Additionally, we recommend a direct connection to the internet via LAN/ethernet.

        Recommendations for Live Session Preparation

        • Recommended screen resolution for your presentation: 1920 x 1080.

        • Power down gaming consoles, streaming devices, etc. to free bandwidth.

        • Close all applications not in use during your event.

        • Disable desktop notifications or set your availability status to 'Do Not Disturb.'

        Recommendations for Attendee Interactivity

        • We recommend joining your event early to test audio, screen sharing, webcams, and pre-recorded content for proper functionality.

        • The best method to address questions is to read them aloud and answer them aloud.

        • Downloadable files cannot be posted directly in the Teams room.

        • Speak clearly and at an even pace to ensure comprehension and closed captioning accuracy.

        Presentation Materials

        • Recommended PowerPoint/slides formatting:

          • Use a sans serif font: minimum 18 point.
          • Sharply contrasting colors.
          • Maintain margins around the edges of the slides.
          • Avoid: overlaps, gradient colors, text shadows, and dense text.

        • Slides with animations are best displayed via desktop share.

        • Please disable 'Private View' when presenting with PowerPoint Live.

        • Download slides and other media to your desktop to have available as backup.

        • When sharing video content, select 'include computer sound' to ensure attendees can hear your media.
