Virtual Producer

Program Overview

A skilled virtual producer is the key to every successful learning session, presentation, and meeting. The producer’s role is to support the presenter or facilitator, ensuring the virtual event runs smoothly and remains interactive to keep audiences engaged and presenters on track. Often underappreciated, the virtual producer launches media at the right time, manages quick task switching, and oversees the technical aspects of the session, such as launching polls and monitoring chats. This enables the presenter to fully focus on delivering engaging and interactive content. Acting as a safeguard, the virtual producer transforms potentially chaotic virtual sessions into seamless, well-organized experiences free from technical distractions.

This program is ideal for the presenter/facilitator who wishes to take on both roles or for the technical support personnel responsible for producing smooth and successful virtual communication and learning sessions in Adobe Connect, WebEx or Zoom.

NOTE: Participation in this program requires the use of VOIP communications. A computer headset is highly recommended for best audio quality. We also recommend a hardwired internet connection rather than wifi.
