“Can you see my screen?”
While using these five words isn’t necessarily bad, it’s boring and unremarkable. Are there any intriguing alternatives? Yes!
For example, after you start screen sharing move your mouse to the upper-left corner of your screen and ask, “Can you see my mouse in the upper-left corner?” After an affirmative response from your audience, do the same with the bottom-right corner and again get audience confirmation.
This approach provides two advantages:
1. You are confirming that your audience actually can see your full screen and
2. You are driving interactivity right from the beginning of the session!
Give it a try!
