One important tool bloggers need is screen sharing. Screen sharing means that whenever you are conducting a webinar or conference, all or some kind of video teaching. Whether it’s one on one or in a group, whether it’s live or recorded, it doesn’t matter. Sometimes you want your audience to be able to see the things you’re seeing on the screen, on the computer screen. I know there are ways to even record your screen while talking on the smartphone. It’s a pretty limited possibility, so far. I always recommend sharing your laptop or PC screen with the information you are viewing.
Whenever you see an opportunity for people to look at the things that you are looking for. Let’s say you’re explaining how to use a special type of software. As you are using it, you are explaining it. You know how people like to play video games.
Some people record themselves talking about the game they are playing, so their audience can actually see how the game is played. It is also screen sharing and it is very powerful. Maybe in your area, it’s a little different, but think about what you could visually provide in this way. This way your audience could see you in the corner of the screen and on the big screen, full screen. They would see you doing things on your computer. For this to have this screen sharing capability, you must also have this special software. Screen sharing software.
Camtasia is of course a very powerful tool. It’s a built-in feature in whatever type of video you have, they have it at their possibilities. Just use Camtasia. There are other tools to do this perhaps less expensive but quite reliable and you might as well invest in those.
In teleseminars and web conferencing services that usually have live calls, they can also provide screen sharing capabilities. I know Skype does. It is very simple. You just have to have a means to record the screen that you’re seeing, so later on, your viewers, your audience, have the ability to see the content that you were watching during this training. Those are the great tools that any blogger needs.
