📰 Transform your presentations with immersive video techniques


Hi Reader,

Greetings from Boston! I’m here for the Ecamm Creator Camp event, where I’ll be delivering sessions all about how to deliver engaging and impactful presentations.

With that in mind, I wanted to share a technique I’ve found incredibly effective in my work: I call it the ‘immersive presentation’ method.

What is the Immersive Presentation Method?

The immersive presentation method is all about blending your video presence with your presentation content to create a seamless and engaging experience for your audience.

While Ecamm Live already offers powerful features to elevate your on-screen interactions—such as integrating Keynote or PowerPoint presentations directly into Ecamm scenes—I take it a step further with Keynote’s live video feature.

This allows me to animate my video on screen, interacting with the slides in real time, rather than appearing as a static thumbnail in the corner.

This method transforms your presentation from a standard slide deck into a dynamic visual experience where you, the presenter, remain central to the content.

Whether you’re walking through a complex spreadsheet, breaking down a process flow, or introducing key visual elements, your live video feed becomes part of the explanation.

This helps to reinforce key points visually and keeps the audience focused on both you and your material, creating a more impactful connection.

Moreover, this approach ensures that the content on screen supports what you’re saying, without distracting the audience, and when it is not need, it can simply slide back out of the way.

In short, the immersive presentation method not only amplifies your content but also enhances audience engagement by making your live video feed an integral part of the presentation itself.

Since we're talking about immersive presentations, this video is a tutorial on how to create an animated 'pop-out' in Keynote, using the 'Magic Move' function. If you are using Powerpoint the same principal applies - you would just use Powerpoint's 'Morph' tool instead.

One of the tools I use in my online meetings and presentations is Video Pencil which allows me to effectively 'write on the screen' from the views perspective. In this video I show how to set it up and use it effectively!

Tip Of The Week

Master Your Eye Contact

When presenting on camera, always remember to look directly at the camera lens—not at your screen or yourself. This creates the feeling of direct eye contact with your audience, which builds trust and connection.

Bonus tip: Using a teleprompter can really be a game changer in achieving this!

It’s about discovering the blind spots that are holding you...

Hi Reader, Do you ever feel like the way you’re showing up online doesn’t fully capture the expertise, passion, and value you bring to your field?
