How we generated 315 comments in under 10 minutes
Last week was the amazing Presentation Summit.
It brings together the biggest public speakers and a whole gaggle of PowerPoint MVPs to geek out over everything presentation-related.
So how did we get a virtual room of PowerPoint experts to set the chat stream on fire?
We had the opportunity to showcase StreamAlive in front of an audience that had seen and heard everything before when it comes to presentations.
Lux was only speaking for 10 minutes, but in that time he managed to show a room of PowerPoint MVPs something they didn’t even know was possible.
PowerPoint slides could listen and react to what the audience had to say.
Here are a few of our favorite comments from the session…
This is so on trend for the future of presentations
Yay - no more Menti mambo or Kahoot chaos
It makes sense that you’re a fan of Escher!
I love the “Unmute The Audience” T-shirt!

And a couple of comments from LinkedIn about the event…

There isn’t a week that goes by where Said Saddouk (aka The Facilitainer) makes our jaw drop to the floor with the incredible virtual events he produces for his clients.
Using a combination of tools, including OBS, StreamAlive, Miro, and StreamDeck, Said creates virtual experiences that, in his words, don’t feel like a Zoom meeting.
Using StreamAlive’s chroma key settings, Said is able to place interactions on his screen with extra overlays thanks to OBS and it’s layered scene function.
If you want to learn from Said on how to use tools to elevate the virtual experience for your attendees, get yourself on the waitlist for one of his virtual facilitation masterclasses.
Or, make sure you register for one of his free events, like this Halloween-themed event tomorrow!
