Check your technical equipment

The proper functioning of the technical equipment you will use is essential to ensure a smooth transmission of your message.

In this sense, it is crucial to invest time in a thorough review of your devices and technological tools before the event, which will allow you to avoid unpleasant surprises and ensure the success of your presentation.

Throughout this session, we will examine the essential steps and tips for conducting an effective review of your technical equipment.

Here are the key steps for conducting an effective pre-presentation review of your technical equipment:

• Equipment List: First and foremost, make a list of all the technical equipment you will need for your presentation. This could include a laptop, adapters, microphones, speakers or other specific devices.

• Test runs: Perform individual test runs. Connect each device to the power supply and turn them on to make sure they power up and function properly.

• Connections and cables: Check all connections and cables to make sure that they are in good condition and working properly. Make sure cables are securely connected and that there are no loose wires that could cause interruptions during the presentation.

• Audio and video testing: If you will be using audio and video in your presentation, test these components to ensure that the sound is clear and the video plays smoothly.

• Device compatibility: If you are using different devices of different brands or operating systems, make sure they are compatible with each other. Test the connection between the computer and the projector, for example, to ensure that the screen displays correctly.

• Updates and software: Make sure all devices and software are updated to the latest versions. Updates can improve the stability and performance of equipment.

• Backup: If you are using a presentation on your laptop, make sure you have a backup copy of the presentation on an external device, such as a USB flash drive.

• Remote control: If you plan to use a remote control to advance slides or operate other aspects of the presentation, make sure it is working properly and has battery power.
