We often hear, "How do you present your slides behind you?" There are a lot of apps and virtual cameras that can display virtual backgrounds. Even Zoom has two different built-in methods. Our favorite way is the Mmhmm app, which allows slides and live content like websites and application windows. There are many live facilitation tools. Imagine editing an Excel file live with your team as they see it in your background. Or, don't imagine it. Watch the demonstration and walkthrough here: https://youtu.be/73c7ugME3RM

As virtual participants, we’ve experienced webinars and workshops over the last year where the facilitator, try as they might, simply wasn’t working. We see ourselves and others lose focus and drift to other work. As virtual facilitators, we want people in our sessions to contribute ideas and learn something new: to be participants, not passengers. Like any skill, everyone can improve with the right processes and practices. Knowmium’s Certified Virtual Facilitator course is designed specifically for anyone, from novice to expert, to take their virtual leader skills to higher levels. This course may be right for you if you want a program that:

1. Uses interactive processes that you can replicate in your own workshops.
2. Caters to your real-world client needs and your personal technology preferences.
3. Focuses on your level of experience with optional booster sessions and personal skills practice.
4. Let’s you experiment with your own styles and tools in small groups to get immediate practice and feedback
5. Finishes with an official certification based on your actual facilitation skills with continued feedback to ensure you pass the certification

Our next program is starting Monday August 16, and sessions can be arranged to fit any schedule. View the course curriculum, intro video, and details here: https://knowmium.com/cvf
