Creative Ways to Use Live Video in Virtual
Sessions
Organizations considering using live video in virtual sessions for learning and talent
management face two challenges:
management face two challenges:
A reticence by some users to be seen on video. These individuals may be self-
conscious, feel a loss of control, or may be in an environment they don’t want
to reveal on camera. All of these are reasons to prefer the anonymity of audio-
only sessions. Given the choice, they will turn their Web cams off, freeing
them to watch and listen only. Confidence and video adoption among these
people can be improved by reinforcing the benefits of video, and by designing
virtual sessions so that attendees contribute content. Rather than producing
sessions using a single speaker and passive listeners, participants can be asked
to present short sections. With time, their level of comfort in front of the
camera will increase.

An ingrained audio-only, or audio-plus-slides culture. Audio teleconferencing
has been around for decades and has influenced how many organizations
communicate to remote groups. In recent years, audio accompanying slides
have become synonymous with the word “presentation.” Organizations
wishing to encourage a greater use of live video need to ensure that
employees have the software and hardware required for all to access and feed
video. Fortunately, built-in cameras are becoming universally available with
new laptops and tablets. In addition, these organizations should increase the
use of video for formal communications. Virtual round-table employee
information meetings using live video should become the norm for all senior
managers and C-level individuals.

Product or Procedure Demonstrations
We’ve all heard the maxim that a picture is worth a thousand words. Video, though,
has the advantage of delivering multi-dimensional views and movement. The result is
that video is much more powerful than viewing a static slide or image.
