Zoho ShowTime - An Innovative Software That Takes The Boring Out Of Your Presentation

Zoho ShowTime - An Innovative Software That Takes The Boring Out Of Your Presentation


The average human has a shorter attention span than that of a goldfish. It's just 8 seconds! Yet an average  presentation takes 20 minutes and includes more than 15 slides. Does it really surprise you then that  most presentations fail to leave any impact? Or even keep the audience engaged?


You might have an interesting idea and exquisite slides to tell your story. Yet, the presentation might  still fall flat. Unfortunately, most presentation tools focus on making your slides prettier. But they  do nothing to address the real challenges you face knowing what works, knowing how well you connected with your audience, and knowing  how to present better.

 

We do a lot of presentations at Zoho, and we understand the challenge presenters - and their audiences  - go through every time a talk is delivered. So we wanted to change the presentation landscape and-  build a solution that will forever change the way we deliver presentations and change the way we interact  and engage with our audience.

 

Introducing, Zoho ShowTime -    a web and mobile app that brings interactivity into presentations by connecting speakers and audiences.  ShowTime completely changes what you've come to expect from your presentation software. It helps you  keep things interesting, while becoming a better presenter.


Here's how ShowTime will revolutionize your presentations.

 

1. Before your talk:

 

Present using your laptop, smartphone or both:  Have you   ever felt chained to your laptop or the podium while presenting? Well, then it's time to break free.  ShowTime works on laptops and mobile devices.You can use ShowTime to deliver presentations on your  laptop, smartphone, or both. It's easy to switch from one mode to the other, without any hassle, whenever  you wish .

 

Start with your PowerPoint or PDF files:  The idea behind ShowTime is unique. But when it comes to creating your presentations, there's no new learning involved  and hence no change in your existing routine. Simply upload your PowerPoint presentation or a PDF file  in to ShowTime and get started. Now, what if you don't have, or haven't created a presentation? Well  then, you can always create a new one from within ShowTime using our powerful online editor, Zoho Show.

 

Turn your audience to active participants:  ShowTime sets up a key that you can share with your audience. It doesn't matter whether they are in  front of you or an ocean away. They can listen in and participate wherever they be. All they need is a  laptop or smartphone to join your talk. They can simply type in the key and and now become your avid listener.


2. During your talk

 

Give your audience a voice:  Your audience can view your presentations from any device and any location. In front of you, from your office  in Geneva, or from their home in Denver. They can go back and see previous slides whenever they wish  to, Like specific slides - telling you what worked, Ask questions anonymously to the presenter instead  of feeling shy or staying away from the spotlight, and Rate presentations at the end of the show - telling  you precisely how each attendee enjoyed your session.

 

Do more than just talk, Interact:  How about the presenters? Well, as a presenter, you can walk away from the podium and deliver your talk  using a mobile phone, Get Notifications that keep you informed of viewer-activity, Project Questions  to the big screen to drive meaningful discussions and Use the Engagement Meter to get a live feel of  the pulse of the audience.

 

3. After your talk

 

Measure your presentation performance:  When you finish your talk, ShowTime leaves you with a detailed analysis of your talk in the analytics dashboard!   You can see the slides that worked, the slides where your audience spent most time, your overall performance rating,  and much more. In short, the analytics dashboard gives you a summary of your presentation strengths  and weaknesses and helps you set benchmarks for your presentation performance.

 

Showcase your presentation skills:  ShowTime also sets you up with a dedicated speaker profile page that you can edit to showcase your  expertise as a presenter. This can be made visible to your audience so they know you better in terms  of your skills, credentials and how your recent talks performed. Or perhaps an old colleague may just stroll  up after the conversation to have a word!!

 

Epilogue


We believe anyone can be a great presenter. No doubt, they will need to work on it. But the right tools that bring  in the right information will certainly give them the edge.  Thanks to ShowTime, it's finally easy to  turn  those boring presentations to meaningful conversations now!  

 

If you wish to make an impact with your talk, we would  recommend  you to try ShowTime. It's absolutely free to use. It doesn't matter if you are a professional presenter, a teacher, a student, a soft skills trainer, a project manager or someone who just wants to deliver  engaging  presentations - ShowTime is for all.

Happy Presenting!

            Raising one's hand was the ancient style of getting people to acknowledge a speaker. People clapped to show their appreciation and booed to show their disapproval since the Roman times. Even today, in many senates and parliaments 'yays' and 'nays' are registered verbally. But, how can one genuinely measure audience response? The solution was in the form of an Audience Response System (ARS). An ARS is a tool that is used to connect speakers to their participants. This helped in measuring audience
