Lesson 2: Enhancing Webinar Participant Engagement

Application sharing, or screen sharing, lets you share your computer screen with your webinar audience. Some webinar software will also allow you to give control of the application to audience members. 

The most common use of this tool is to share the webinar presentation slides. You can also use it to give live demonstrations. For example, share the site live with your audience rather than present a static slide of what a web page would look like. Or, when talking about logging into a computer system, demonstrate the actual process using application sharing. This not only gives you the ability to provide more detail, but its dynamic nature also helps maintain audience attention. Participants could ask further questions in the chat window, which you could answer with more live demonstrations.
