youtu.be/_wkjz_6k-HYFor those speakers attending and presenting online we’ve created a guide (click here or view below) that will help you make the most of this experience. If you experience any difficulty or needs support, please reach out to the tech team through the purple chat button on the home page or by phoning 082 575 6479 / +27 (12) 346 1590. This is a video demonstration of what you can expect as speaker.
Step 1: Join Airmeet upon invitation
Use the personalised invite link provided to you to enter the Airmeet Event. This link is unique to you as a speaker and only you may log in using this link. If you choose to share this link with anyone, they shall appear on the Airmeet with your name and details.
When you click on the specific link shared with you, you will directly enter Airmeet with no signing-in required. All speakers can connect 15 minutes before the live session.
Step 2: Visit Backstage
After entering the Airmeet you will first encounter the ‘Social Lounge’ where you can interact and network with the attendees and the host. You will also have an opportunity to go to the social lounge during breaks as well as after the session.
At this point click the “Go Backstage” button to set up before your session. Here you can test your audio, video and devices to avoid last minute surprises and also interact with the host and other speakers, getting to know them before you go live.
Once everything is in order, the host will choose to begin the session. A countdown of 15 seconds will indicate when the session is about to begin.
When creating a presentation and/or recording a session for a webinar, please adhere to the following guidelines:
- Do not wear clothing with stripes
- Ensure the slide size for the presentation is set to the standard (4:3).
- Only use dark fonts on light backgrounds or vice versa, refrain from using grey or lighter fonts on light backgrounds.
- Logos should be placed over a plain background (not covering any text).
- Do not use too much text - a maximum of 40 words per slide should be used. LESS IS MORE
- The smallest font size used should be 24pt. Please make sure when uploading your powerpoint to Prezi that your words are viewable for a PC and Mobile device.
- When including images/graphs in the presentation, please consider that mobile devices are often used to view webinars and the graphs/images should still be visible accordingly.
- You can either create your own powerpoint in Prezi or use one from Powerpoint.
- Record against a plain background.
- Use natural lighting so that the speaker is visible, but not also too bright.
- When speaking, use a headset or earphones to reduce background noise.
- Ensure the laptop or camera is at eye level.
- Ensure head and shoulder are within the frame (not cut off)
- Ensure that your internet connection is stable. (When you make use of an online recording system.)

All chats, emojis and questions posted by the attendees will be visible to you. If an attendee uses the “Raise Hand” feature, the host can moderate and accept or dismiss the request. If accepted, the attendee shares the stage with the speakers for the interaction.
Step 4: Take a Break
Longer sessions call for breaks in between. The host moderates the event and can execute breaks in the session. You can go to the ‘Social Lounge’ to interact with participants amidst the break.
In the lounge, you will be able to view the profiles of all the participants with details like name, organisation and designation. Select the “Take a Seat” button at any table to connect with the people seated at the table in a mini virtual conference. You can chat with all the people at the table. To switch tables, simply select the “Take a Seat” button available at any other table.

Step 5: Q&A
Once the session has ended, the Q&A session can begin. The ‘Questions’ button on the right-hand side of your screen lists questions asked by the attendees. You don’t have to go through the chat body as that button allows segregation of questions from the regular chat. Post the Q&A session, select the “Go to Social Lounge” button if you choose to interact with other participants further.
So, with that, we have come to the end of our walkthrough. However, if you need assistance before your session or between sessions, the “Help” or “?” button in the bottom right corner inside the event will allow you to chat with our event specialists or meet with them face-to-face in the 24/7 support lounge.
For a flawless Airmeet experience, do keep the following in mind:
