Delivering presentations with a partner can be challenging as it requires synchronizing with them, balancing speaking time, and ensuring a smooth flow. However, with proper preparation and practice, co-presenting can be a highly effective way to engage and inform your audience. Co presenting can also be fun and engaging, as it allows you to showcase different perspectives, share ideas, and build on each other’s strengths. 

One key benefit of co presenting is the ability to divide the workload and responsibilities among multiple presenters. This allows for a more efficient and effective presentation. It can also result in a more engaging and dynamic presentation, as each presenter can bring their unique perspectives and expertise to the table. Additionally, co presenting can make it easier and less nerve-wracking than presenting alone. It can also provide support and backup for each other during the presentation. Overall, co presenting can lead to a more polished, collaborative and successful presentation.

In this article, we’ll discuss co-presenting tips to help you deliver an engaging and cohesive presentation. Whether you’re presenting with a colleague, friend, or partner, these tips will help you work seamlessly and deliver an impactful presentation.

What is Co-Presenting? 

Co presenting is a term used to describe a situation where two or more people present a topic or subject matter to an audience. It’s common in business, education, and public speaking, and is often used to showcase different perspectives, share ideas, and build on each other’s strengths.

Co presenting requires a high level of coordination and cooperation between the presenters. Each presenter must work seamlessly with the other to ensure that the co presentation is cohesive and engaging. This is why Prezi Present is an asset to your co presentations. Prezi Present’s open canvas feature can aid in delivering an exceptional co-presentation by offering a comprehensive view of the entire presentation. With the freedom to move between topics in real-time, presenters can emphasize vital information with precision, keeping the audience engaged. Co-presenters can work together effortlessly, using the open canvas feature to create an impactful presentation that delivers the intended message effectively.

Being comfortable with co-presenting is a valuable skill to possess as it fosters more successful and cooperative presentations. In many business and educational settings, presentations require input and collaboration from multiple individuals with different expertise and experiences. By being comfortable with co presenting, you can better work with others to divide the workload, share the responsibility of presenting, and make use of each other’s strengths to create a more engaging and informative presentation. Additionally, co presenting allows for constructive feedback and support from your co-presenters, which can help you improve your presentation skills and boost your confidence.

Explore five ways of co-presenting

Simultaneous co-presenting.

Simultaneous co-presenting is when two or more presenters work together to deliver a presentation in real time. Each presenter takes turns speaking while the others may assist by operating visual aids or providing additional commentary. 

This type of presentation delivery also has numerous advantages that can benefit both presenters and audiences. One of the most significant advantages of simultaneous co-presenting is enhanced engagement. With multiple presenters working together to deliver content in real time, there is a greater chance of capturing and maintaining audience attention throughout the presentation. Check out a Prezi presentation example below that can easily be used for this type of delivery.

Sequential co-presenting

In this format, each presenter takes turns presenting a segment of the content, often separated by specific topics or themes. The presenters may provide additional insights or feedback on each other’s segments, but each is responsible for delivering their content independently. 

This form of co presenting allows presenters to delve into specific topics or themes in greater detail, as each presenter can focus on a specific area of the content. It also ensures that each presenter has adequate time to prepare and deliver their segment, reducing the risk of errors or miscommunications. 

When designing a presentation for this type of delivery, check out Prezi’s presentation templates and examples that can be perfect for this presentation form. With open canvas and zooming effects, you can choose to zoom in and out of topics in whatever order you want. Check out one of the examples below.

Tag team co-presenting

This form of co-presentation involves presenters working together in pairs or small groups. One presenter can introduce the topic and the other(s) provide additional insights or examples to support the presentation. What’s more, this format can add variety and dynamism to the presentation, as presenters can switch roles and add their own personal touches to the presentation. 

The Prezi presentation template below is perfect for tag team co-presenting as you can easily navigate through the presentation topics and subtopics, and go into detail where necessary by zooming into specific areas on the canvas.

Expert co-presenting

This format involves one presenter serving as the primary expert on the topic, with other presenters providing additional commentary or insights that complement the expert’s content. 

This form of presenting can be especially valuable for complex or technical topics where multiple perspectives are needed to fully understand the material. Additionally, expert co-presenting can help build credibility and authority with the audience, as the collective expertise of the presenters can instill confidence and trust in the material being presented.

The Prezi presentation example below showcases how you can structure your presentation for this presentation delivery style.

Panel discussion co-presenting

Panel discussion co-presenting is often used in conferences or public events, where a panel of presenters is assembled to discuss a specific topic. Each presenter may deliver a brief presentation, followed by a discussion or debate on the topic moderated by a host or facilitator. 

This form can help build a sense of community and collaboration among presenters and audiences alike, as everyone is invited to participate and contribute to the discussion.

To create this type of presentation format, check out the Prezi presentation template below and re-create it for your topic.

Co-presenting tips 

Plan and prepare together.

The key to successful co presenting is planning and preparation. The presenters must plan and prepare the presentation together to ensure that they are on the same page and that the co presentation flows smoothly.

Before the presentation, the co-presenters should discuss the following:

• The purpose of the presentation.
• The target audience.
• The main points to be covered.
• The roles and responsibilities of each co presenter.
•  The presentation formats.

By planning and preparing together, the co-presenters can ensure that they are aligned and that the presentation is structured and coherent.

Assign roles and responsibilities

To ensure that co presenting runs smoothly, it’s essential to assign roles and responsibilities to each presenter. Each presenter should have a specific role to play, whether it’s introducing the topic, presenting the main points, or concluding the presentation.

Assigning roles and responsibilities can help to:

• Ensure that each presenter has a clear understanding of their role.
• Ensure that the presentation flows seamlessly.
• Prevent two or more presenters from speaking at the same time.
• Allow each presenter to showcase their strengths.

Practice is key

Practice is essential when co-presenting. The presenters should rehearse the presentation together several times to ensure that they are synchronized and that the presentation progresses with ease. 

During the practice sessions, the presenters should focus on the following:

• The timing of each segment of the presentation.
• The transitions between each segment.
• The delivery of each co-presenter (e.g., tone, pace, volume).

Practice sessions should be conducted in a quiet and distraction-free environment. Also, the presenters should be open to feedback and suggestions from each other. Feedback can help build trust and collaboration among presenters, as they work together to create the best possible presentation. By listening to each other’s feedback and incorporating suggestions, presenters can create a more cohesive and effective presentation.

Use visual aids  

Visual aids are a powerful tool for engaging audiences and simplifying complex information. With Prezi and Prezi Video (for online meetings and presentations), you can take your co presenting to the next level by adding stunning, real-time visuals that captivate and inspire your viewers. Co-presenters can collaborate seamlessly, creating an immersive experience that seamlessly integrates their words with the visuals.

Using visual aids when co-presenting helps to:

• Break up the presentation into manageable chunks.
• Reinforce key points.
• Provide a visual representation of complex information.
• Add interest and variety to the presentation.

Engage the audience

Co-presenters should work together to engage the audience in new and interesting ways. This can include asking questions, using humor, or incorporating interactive elements such as charts or polls. Engaging the audience during a co-presentation is important because it helps to keep their attention focused on the presentation and increases their interest and understanding of the topic being presented. When audience members are engaged, they are more likely to retain the information being presented, as well as be more receptive to the ideas being conveyed.

Maintain consistency

It’s important to maintain consistency throughout the presentation, including style, tone, and pacing. Co-presenters should work together to ensure that the presentation feels cohesive and seamless. It’s important to remain consistent during a co-presentation because inconsistency can create confusion and undermine the effectiveness of the presentation. When working together, use the best presentation design practices that we describe in the following video:

Be prepared for the unexpected

Co-presenting can be unpredictable, so it’s important to be prepared for unexpected events such as technical difficulties or questions from the audience. Co-presenters should work together to develop a plan for addressing these situations. By preparing for the unexpected, presenters can maintain their composure and continue to deliver an effective presentation, even in challenging or unexpected circumstances. Additionally, being prepared for unexpected situations can help you build credibility and trust with the audience. It demonstrates that the presenters are professional, adaptable, and able to handle unexpected challenges with ease.

Handle conflicts gracefully

Co-presenting can be a rewarding experience if executed correctly. But unfortunately, sometimes that does not always go to plan. Sometimes there are disagreements or conflicts between presenters. To ensure a smooth and effective presentation, it’s important to handle conflicts gracefully.

Here are some tips for handling conflicts:

Listen actively: When a conflict arises, listen to the other presenter’s perspective without interrupting. Active listening can help you understand the other presenter’s point of view and find common ground.

Express your own perspective calmly: When expressing your own perspective, avoid attacking or blaming the other presenter. Instead, focus on explaining your own viewpoint and how it can benefit the presentation.

Compromise: When there are disagreements, try to find a compromise that works for both presenters. Look for solutions that can meet both presenters’ needs and still achieve the goals of the presentation.

Take a break if necessary: If conflicts become too heated, take a break and step away from the situation. Give yourself time to cool down and gather your thoughts, and then return to the discussion with a fresh perspective.

Apologize when needed: If you realize that you have made a mistake or reacted poorly during a conflict, take responsibility for your actions and apologize. This can help rebuild trust and collaboration between co-presenters.

By handling conflicts gracefully, co-presenters can maintain a positive and collaborative working relationship. This can ultimately lead to a more successful presentation.

Manage non-verbal communication

Non-verbal communication can greatly affect the impact the presentation has on the audience. Co-presenters should pay attention to their body language, eye contact, and facial expressions to ensure they send the right message to the audience. Practicing active listening skills can help co-presenters to understand each other’s perspectives better and avoid countering your co presenters’ narrative.

By managing non-verbal communication, co-presenters can create a positive and engaging environment for the audience. This can help them to better understand and retain the information being presented. Effective non-verbal communication feeds the mood to the audience before any information has been presented. This allows the audience to view the co presenters as impactful individuals, leading to a hard-hitting presentation.

Teamwork and collaboration are important to many businesses. Team projects benefit from the give and take of varied ideas. Plus, teamwork can improve employee morale as team members interact with each other and learn to work together.    

If you create online presentations as part of a team, presentation collaboration is important to the way you work. Team members need to access the presentation and provide their input in a timely fashion. Yet, the security of your online presentation project is also important. Not every team member needs to have the same level of presentation access.

With Google Slides, real-time presentation sharing makes collaboration and teamwork easy. Plus, you can control who accesses the online presentation and what changes they can make to it.

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to use Google Slides for presentation collaboration. First, we'll explore how to provide team members with access to an online presentation.

How to Use Google Slides Presentation Collaboration Tools (Video)

In the screencast above learn how to use Google Slides presentation collaboration tools online. Or, read on for comprehensive written instructions to help you use collaboration tools.

1. How to Share a Google Slides Presentation

The first step to collaborating is giving others access to your online presentation. To start, open Google drive by typing the following in your browser's address field: drive.google.com.

In your Google Drive, click on the thumbnail of the online presentation you want to collaborate on to open it:

Note: This presentation uses the Everland template from Graphic River. For more great professional Google Slides templates, check Envato Elements or Graphic River.

Click on the Share button in the upper right corner to begin sharing your Google Slides presentation with others. The Share with others dialog box appears:

There are several ways you can share your Google Slides presentation through the dialog box:

1.  Share Through Email

The first, and simplest, method of sharing your online presentation through the Share with others dialog box is to type an email address into the People field. As you type the email address, the dialog box expands to allow you to add a note to your invitation to share:

2. Control Email Presentation Access (Edit, Comment, View)

Although you're collaborating on your presentation, you may not want to give your team member full access to it. Fortunately, you can control the level of presentation access your team member had. 

To control presentation access, click on the Edit files directly icon (it looks like a pencil) in the upper right corner of the Share with others dialog box:  

The drop-down menu gives you three options for access level:

• Can edit . The system defaults to this option. Your collaborator has full access rights to the online presentation. They can make changes and comment on the presentation.
• Can comment . Your collaborator can view the presentation and make comments, but they can't make changes to the presentation itself.
• Can view . Your collaborator can view the presentation, but they can't comment or make changes to it.

To select the level of access, click on it in the drop-down menu. Click the Send button on the lower left corner of the dialog box to send an email invitation to your team member.

Note: Your team member doesn't need a Google account to access your Google Slides presentation. They can access it through the link in the email they receive.

3. Share Via Shareable Link

A second way to collaborate on a Google Slides online presentation is to provide your team member with a shareable link:

Click the Get shareable link icon (it looks like a chain) in the upper right corner of the Share with others dialog box. The dialog box expands to show the shareable link:

By default, the link is copied to your computer's clipboard when you expand the dialog box. However, you can make sure it's in your clipboard by clicking the Copy Link button on the right of the dialog box.

You can send the link through email, social media, text message, or even link to it on a website if you want to make your presentation public. The shareable link option is a good choice if you're collaborating with many people, but don't have all their contact information.

Caution: Anyone with the shareable link can access your presentation. For example, if a contact forwards the link to someone else, that third party can use the link to access your presentation.

4. Control Shareable Link Presentation Access (Edit, Comment, View)

Fortunately, you can control the level access people who use the shareable link have to your presentation.

Click the down arrow next to Anyone with link can view . A drop-down menu appears:

The options are can edit , can comment , or can view . Click the option you want to apply to the shareable link. Click the Done button when you're finished.

5. How to Change or Revoke Presentation Access

Online presentation collaboration is great, but what if someone leaves the team? You may not want them to still be able to access your presentation. 

You can change or revoke access to your presentation. Here's how:

Click the Advanced link in the lower left corner of the Share with others dialog box. The Sharing settings dialog box displays:

Let's look at the collaboration options on the Sharing settings dialog box field by field:

Link to Share

In this field of the Sharing settings dialog box you see the shareable link again. Copy the link to share it. You can also click on one of the social media icons below the link to automatically share the link through social media.

Who Has Access

In this section of the Sharing settings dialog box you see a list of everyone who has access to the presentation.

In this example, you can see that there's a shareable link and one person has been invited via email. As owner, you should also see your own name on this list. 

To edit a collaborator's presentation access or give them owner status, click the Edit files directly icon to the right of their name. To revoke a collaborator's access to the online presentation, click the X symbol by their name.

Note: An owner has full access to the presentation and can't be deleted from it.

To change the shareable link options, click the Change link next to Anyone who has the link can view. The Link sharing dialog box appears :

From this dialog box you can turn the shareable link off or on. You can also change the level of access a link holder has to your presentation.

When you're finished making changes, click the Save button.

Invite People

The Invite people field of the Sharing settings dialog box works like the Share with others dialog box above. Use it to give access to team members through email. Use the Edit files directly icon to control the access level for each team member.

The Owner settings section of the Sharing settings dialog box provides some extra check boxes to give you additional control over who accesses your presentation and how they access it. 

• The first checkbox keeps collaborators from sharing your presentation with others and change the access level of other team members.
• The second checkbox means that only collaborators with editor access ( Can edit ) are able to download, print, or copy your presentation. This checkbox is particularly important if you're sharing your presentation publicly.

2. How to Comment on a Google Slides Presentation

Once you've shared your Google Slides presentation, you're ready to begin collaborating with team members. Let's take a closer look at the some of the Google Slides presentation collaboration options:

1. Leave a Comment

One of the most popular ways for team members to collaborate on a presentation is through the Google slides Comments feature.

To use comments, select the text or object that you want to comment on or place your cursor next to it. Click the Comments button in the upper right. The Comments pop-out appears:

Click Comment icon on the right (it has a + symbol next to it). You'll see an empty comment:

Type your comment in the field. Press the Comment button when you're done. 

2. Reply to a Comment and "Chat"

If you're looking at the same slide as a commentator, click on the comment to leave your reply:

You can also open a Chat mode if you see that another team member is in the presentation at the same time as you. To do this, look for the team member's icon in the thumbnails. Active users appear as a brightly colored square or profile image on the thumbnail of the slide they're looking at. If a chat is already open, you'll see the chat icon at the top of the screen.

When you find a team member's icon, click on it to open real-time chat mode with that team member:

3. Turn Comment Notifications On

Since comments are such a useful presentation collaboration feature, it can be helpful to know when a team member leaves a comment. To do this, you'll need to turn comment notifications on.

First, enable comment notifications in Google Drive. Type drive.google.com into the address field of your browser. Click the Settings icon (it looks like a gear) in the upper right of your Google Drive screen. The Settings screen appears:

Make sure all the boxes are checked and click Done . Next, open your presentation again. Click the Comments button and select the Notifications icon (it looks like a bell). A drop-down menu appears:

To receive notification of all comments, select All . To receive notification only of comments involving you, select Only yours . To turn off receiving comments, select None .

Once comments are turned on, you'll receive an email when changes are made to the presentation.

Note: Each team member must decide for themselves whether they want to receive notifications. You can't turn notifications on for another user.

4. Email Collaborators

Another handy Google Slides presentation collaboration tool is the ability to email some or all collaborators at once from within the slide presentation. To access the capability, go to File > Email Collaborators . The Send Message dialog box appears:

Type your message, select the collaborators you want to send it to, and click Send .

5. Resolve a Comment

The final collaboration tool you may wish to use has to do with managing comments. After a comment has been addressed, it's likely you no longer want it to appear on the presentation.

Notice that each comment has a Resolve button on it:

Once you've addressed the issue raised by the comment, click the Resolve button. The comment is no longer visible on the slide.

Total Success: Co-Presenting Tips and Techniques

This article by  Total Success , a UK business training organisation, gives detailed and practical advice about successfully conducting professional looking co-presentations. It goes into detail about the benefits of co-presentations, as well as how to set up good communication practices between presenters and to feed off each other to make sure presentations progress smoothly. It also discusses the merits of five different forms of co-presentations: 1.  Tag-team 2. Speak-and-comment 3. Speak-and-chart 4. Perform-and-comment 5. Duet.

" Co-presenting improves almost all presentations in several ways. It adds to the energy. It lets each presenter to come to the other’s rescue when necessary.

Solo presenters manage many tasks at the same time — monitoring audience reaction, preparing visuals, keeping track of content, managing time. Because co-presenters share these tasks, they conserve personal energy. Neither person is “on” all the time. While one speaks, the other can perform important presentation functions such as assessing the audience or planning modifications.

Co-presenters can also rescue one another. Presenters feel that one of their biggest fears is going blank in the middle of a presentation. But when one co-presenter goes blank or gets off track, the partner can come in with needed support."

Share a surprising statistic or fact

Brace yourself for some wide eyes and dropped jaws! Open your presentation with a jaw-dropping statistic or a mind-blowing fact that’s directly related to your topic. Nothing captures attention like a good ol’ dose of shock and awe.

State a bold statement or challenge

Ready to shake things up? Kick off with a bold and daring statement that sets the stage for your presentation’s epic journey. Boldness has a way of making ears perk up and eyes widen in anticipation!

Engage with a poll or interactive activity

Turn the audience from passive listeners to active participants by kicking off with a fun poll or interactive activity. Get them on their feet, or rather — their fingertips, right from the start!

Venngage’s user-friendly drag-and-drop editor allows you to easily transform your slides into an interactive presentation . Create clickable buttons or navigation elements within your presentation to guide your audience to different sections or external resources. 

Enhance engagement by incorporating videos or audio clips directly into your presentation. Venngage supports video and audio embedding, which can add depth to your content.

Begin with an opening phrase that captures attention

Use opening phrases that can help you create a strong connection with your audience and make them eager to hear more about what you have to say. Remember to be confident, enthusiastic and authentic in your delivery to maximize the impact of your presentation.

Here are some effective presentation starting words and phrases that can help you grab your audience’s attention and set the stage for a captivating presentation:

Build connection and credibility

Begin with a personal connection .

Share a real-life experience or a special connection to the topic at hand. This simple act of opening up creates an instant bond with the audience, turning them into your biggest cheerleaders.

Having the team share their personal experiences is also a good group presentation introduction approach. Team members can share their own stories that are related to the topic to create an emotional connection with your audience. 

Tell a relevant story

Start your presentation with a riveting story that hooks your audience and relates to your main message. Stories have a magical way of captivating hearts and minds. Organize your slides in a clear and sequential manner and use visuals that complement your narrative and evoke emotions to engage the audience.

With Venngage, you have access to a vast library of high-quality and captivating stock photography, offering thousands of options to enrich your presentations. The best part? It’s entirely free! Elevate your visual storytelling with stunning images that complement your content, captivate your audience and add a professional touch to your presentation. 

Use a powerful quote

Sometimes, all you need is some wise words to work wonders. Begin with a powerful quote from a legendary figure that perfectly fits your presentation’s theme — a dose of inspiration sets the stage for an epic journey.

Build anticipation

Provide a brief outline.

Here’s a good introduction for presentation example if you’re giving a speech at a conference. For longer presentations or conferences with multiple speakers especially, providing an outline helps the audience stay focused on the key takeaways. That way, you can better manage your time and ensure that you cover all the key points without rushing or running out of time.

Pose a problem and offer a solution

A great idea on how to start a business presentation is to start by presenting a problem and offering a well-thought-out solution. By addressing their pain points and showcasing your solution, you’ll capture their interest and set the stage for a compelling and successful presentation.

Back up your solution with data, research, or case studies that demonstrate its effectiveness. This can also be a good reporting introduction example that adds credibility to your proposal.

Preparing a pitch deck can be a daunting task but fret not. This guide on the 30+ best pitch deck tips and examples has everything you need to bring on new business partners and win new client contracts. Alternatively, you can also get started by customizing one of our professional pitch deck templates for free. 

Incite curiosity in the audience

Utilize visuals or props.

Capture your audience’s gaze by whipping out captivating visuals or props that add an exciting touch to your subject. A well-placed prop or a stunning visual can make your presentation pop like a fireworks show!

That said, you maybe wondering — how can I make my presentation more attractive.  A well-designed presentation background instantly captures the audience’s attention and creates a positive first impression. Here are 15 presentation background examples to keep the audience awake to help you get inspired. 

Use humor or wit

Sprinkle some humor and wit to spice things up. Cracking a clever joke or throwing in a witty remark can break the ice and create a positively charged atmosphere. If you’re cracking your head on how to start a group presentation, humor is a great way to start a presentation speech. 

Get your team members involved in the fun to create a collaborative and enjoyable experience for everyone. Laughter is the perfect way to break the ice and set a positive tone for your presentation!

Invoke emotion

Get those heartstrings tugging! Start with a heartfelt story or example that stirs up emotions and connects with your audience on a personal level. Emotion is the secret sauce to a memorable presentation.

Aside from getting creative with your introduction, a well-crafted and creative presentation can boost your confidence as a presenter. Browse our catalog of creative presentation templates and get started right away!

Use a dramatic pause

A great group presentation example is to start with a powerful moment of silence, like a magician about to reveal their greatest trick. After introducing your team, allow a brief moment of silence. Hold the pause for a few seconds, making it feel deliberate and purposeful. This builds anticipation and curiosity among the audience.

Pique their interest

Share a fun fact or anecdote.

Time for a little fun and games! Kick-off with a lighthearted or fascinating fact that’ll make the audience go, “Wow, really? Tell me more!” A sprinkle of amusement sets the stage for an entertaining ride.

While an introduction for a presentation sets the tone for your speech, a good slide complements your spoken words, helping the audience better understand and remember your message. Check out these 12 best presentation software for 2023 that can aid your next presentation. 

The opening moments of a presentation can make or break your entire talk. It’s your chance to grab your audience’s attention, set the tone, and lay the foundation for a successful presentation. However, there are some common pitfalls that speakers often fall into when starting their presentations. 

Starting with Apologies

It might be tempting to start with a preemptive apology, especially if you’re feeling nervous or unsure about your presentation. However, beginning with unnecessary apologies or self-deprecating remarks sets a negative tone right from the start. Instead of exuding confidence and credibility, you’re unintentionally undermining yourself and your message. 

Reading from Slides

One of the most common blunders in the opening of a PowerPoint presentation is reading directly from your slides or script. While it’s crucial to have a well-structured outline, reciting word-for-word can lead to disengagement and boredom among your audience. Maintain eye contact and connect with your listeners as you speak. Your slides should complement your words, not replace them.

Overwhelming with Information

In the excitement to impress, some presenters bombard their audience with too much information right at the beginning.

Instead of overloading the audience with a sea of data, statistics or technical details that can quickly lead to confusion and disinterest, visualize your data with the help of Venngage. Choose an infographic template that best suits the type of data you want to visualize. Venngage offers a variety of pre-designed templates for charts, graphs, infographics and more.

Ignoring the Audience

It’s easy to get caught up in the content and forget about the people in front of you. Don’t overlook the importance of acknowledging the audience and building a connection with them. Greet them warmly, make eye contact and maintain body language to show genuine interest in their presence. Engage the audience early on by asking a show of hands question or encourage audience participation. 

Lack of Clarity

Your audience should know exactly what to expect from your presentation. Starting with a vague or unclear opening leaves them guessing about the purpose and direction of your talk. Clearly communicate the topic and objectives of your presentation right from the beginning. This sets the stage for a focused and coherent message that resonates with your audience.

Simplicity makes it easier for the audience to understand and retain the information presented. Check out our gallery of simple presentation templates to keep your opening concise and relevant. 

Skipping the Hook

The opening of your presentation is the perfect opportunity to hook your audience’s attention and keep them engaged. However, some presenters overlook this crucial aspect and dive straight into the content without any intrigue. Craft an attention-grabbing hook that sparks curiosity, poses a thought-provoking question or shares an interesting fact. A compelling opening is like the key that unlocks your audience’s receptivity to the rest of your presentation.

Now that you’ve got the gist of how to introduce a presentation, further brush up your speech with these tips on how to make a persuasive presentation and how to improve your presentation skills to create an engaging presentation . 

How can I overcome nervousness at the beginning of a presentation?

To overcome nervousness at the beginning of a presentation, take deep breaths, practice beforehand, and focus on connecting with your audience rather than worrying about yourself.

How long should the opening of a presentation be?

The opening of a presentation should typically be brief, lasting around 1 to 3 minutes, to grab the audience’s attention and set the tone for the rest of the talk.

Should I memorize my presentation’s opening lines?

While it’s helpful to know your opening lines, it’s better to understand the key points and flow naturally to maintain authenticity and flexibility during the presentation.

Should I use slides during the opening of my presentation?

Using slides sparingly during the opening can enhance the message, but avoid overwhelming the audience with too much information early on.

How do I transition smoothly from the opening to the main content of my presentation?

Transition smoothly from the opening to the main content by providing a clear and concise outline of what’s to come, signaling the shift and maintaining a logical flow between topics.

Just as a captivating opening draws your audience in, creating a well-crafted presentation closing has the power to leave a lasting impression. Wrap up in style with these 10 ways to end a presentation .

Presenting virtually? Check out these tips on how to ace your next online presentation . 

Captivating your audience from the very beginning is crucial for a successful presentation. The first few moments of your talk can set the tone and determine whether your audience remains engaged throughout or loses interest. 

Start with a compelling opening that grabs their attention. You can use a thought-provoking question, a surprising statistic or a powerful quote to pique their curiosity. Alternatively, storytelling can be a potent tool to draw them into your narrative. It’s essential to establish a personal connection early on, whether by sharing a relatable experience or expressing empathy towards their needs and interests.

Lastly, be mindful of your body language and vocal delivery. A confident and engaging speaker can captivate an audience, so make eye contact, use appropriate gestures and vary your tone to convey passion and sincerity.

In conclusion, captivating your audience from the very beginning requires thoughtful preparation, engaging content and a confident delivery. With Venngage’s customizable templates, you can adapt your presentation to suit the preferences and interests of your specific audience, ensuring maximum engagement. Go on and get started today!

Use Copilot to create and edit awesome PowerPoint presentations

march 8, 2024

by Deb Ashby

Are you looking for an efficient way of creating modern, multi-slide PowerPoint presentations? If so, then Microsoft Copilot is a game-changer!

In this article, we are going to explore how to use Copilot and AI design tool Microsoft Designer in PowerPoint to quickly create and edit presentations.

Set yourself up for Success: Copilot pre-requisites

In PowerPoint, the Copilot icon can be found on the Home ribbon.

If the Copilot button is greyed out (inaccessible), we need to make sure that we have completed the following steps:

• Save the presentation to the OneDrive account associated with your Copilot licence ( File > Save As > OneDrive ).
• Toggle on autosave.

Create a presentation with Copilot

In this scenario, we are a tech startup called Infotech. We are looking to create a sales pitch presentation to dazzle potential investors.

Let’s use Copilot to help us with this.

Create a blank presentation

• Open PowerPoint.
• From the File tab, click New and select Blank Presentation .

• From the Home tab, click Copilot to open the Copilot Preview pane.

The Copilot pane

The Copilot pane is split into halves. The top half shows three prompt suggestions, which are a good place to start when using Copilot.

The lower half is where we type our prompts and ask questions. We can also specify if we want to work within this presentation or if we want to work with our organization’s data.

• Select Using this presentation.

Note: The prompt area has dictation capabilities which can be useful for people with accessibility or mobility issues. Click the microphone icon to speak instead of type.

• In the prompt box, type the following: “Create a sales pitch presentation for a tech startup called Infotech to impress potential investors and secure investments. The tone should be professional.”

• Click Send .

Copilot will generate a multi-slide presentation with sample, placeholder text. This text is AI-generated based on the prompt you provided.

Redesign slides with Microsoft Designer

Often, the AI-generated images used in the presentation won’t be exactly what you want. You may want to use your own company images instead.

• Click on an image in the presentation.
• From the Picture Format tab, in the Adjust group, click Change Picture .
• Choose a picture source from the drop-down list.

In this example, I’m going to use a Stock Image .

• Click Insert .

We can change the look and feel of each slide in our presentation by using an existing AI tool, Microsoft Designer. The Designer pane will open each time you insert an image into a slide unless you have disabled the setting.

If you don’t see the Designer pane open automatically, click the Home tab and then Designer .

• Choose a new design to apply to the slide.

• Repeat this process for each slide in the deck.

Designer helps us quickly redesign slides and achieve a consistent look.

Edit the presentation with Copilot

We can use Copilot to make edits and structural change to our presentation.

Reword text on a slide.

• Select the text placeholder.
• In the prompt area type “Reword the text in this placeholder” .

Change fonts

We can change the fonts currently in use in the presentation. Let’s see if Copilot can help with this.

• In the prompt area type “Change the heading font on all slides to Lato Black” .

Copilot has returned a message that it can’t access this functionality directly.

However, it returns some instructions on doing this manually. We can even jump straight to the relevant command on the ribbon by clicking Show Me.

Delete and organize slides

We can use Copilot to help us delete slides and organize the presentation into sections.

Delete slides

• Click in the prompt area.
• Type the prompt, “Delete the last slide in the presentation” .

Organize the presentation

We can use Copilot to organize our presentation by adding sections.

• In the prompt area, type, “Organize this presentation” .

Copilot will add sections to the presentation and any other slides it feels might be necessary. We can see a summary of the changes made to the presentation in the Copilot pane.

Summarize the presentation

Copilot can summarize large presentations and produce a concise overview. This is useful if you are looking to send an email that gives people a summary of the key points in the presentation.

• Type the prompt, “Summarize this presentation” .

Copilot will return a summary of the deck with references. The reference number tells us which slide in the desk the summary item relates to.

• Click Copy to copy the summary to the clipboard.

We can now paste this information into an Outlook email, a Teams channel, a Word document etc.

Speaker notes

A cool feature of Copilot is that it automatically creates speaker notes and adds them to the presentation.

• Click the View tab.
• In the Show group, click Notes .

The notes will show at the bottom of the slide. Notes can be edited and will be displayed when using Presenter view.

Create a presentation from a file

When we create a presentation from scratch using Copilot, the text and images are generated by Copilot’s AI. This means the text and images can be somewhat generic and may not be tailored to our organization.

We can create more customised presentations by starting with an existing document.

• From File , click New and choose Blank presentation .
• On the Home tab, click Copilot .
• Choose the prompt, “Create a presentation from file…” .

In this example we are going to use an existing Word document. To use an existing file, the file needs to be saved in OneDrive.

• Click the Files tab.
• Select the file from the list.

Alternatively, we can paste the link to the OneDrive file directly into the prompt area.

• Open the file.
• Click Share and Copy Link.
• Click Copy .

• Go back to PowerPoint and paste the link into the prompt area.

Copilot will use the information and images in the file to build a presentation. It will automatically add notes to each slide and show you the outline the presentation will be based on.

We can then use Designer to redesign our slides or manually make changes.

What do you think of Microsoft Copilot and Designer in PowerPoint?

Remember, we’ve only scratched the surface here with what Copilot can do. I encourage you to try it out for yourself and start unleashing the power of AI!

Canva and Prezi are two popular web-based applications that serve different purposes. Canva is a graphic design platform that allows users to create a wide range of visual content, including posters, presentations, social media graphics, and more. On the other hand, Prezi is a cloud-based presentation software that offers a unique approach to presenting information.
