Presentation mode

Question

Is it just me or does this bother you too?

When you are on a virtual customer meeting, the sales rep begins to share their screen, and you can see their desktop apps in the background because presentation mode is not on, or the slides are not "full screen."

It seems unprofessional, so I want to mention it to my colleague, but I could also be overthinking it.

Accepted Answer

Meh, I think we all saw enough fails to have a bit of sympathy for everyone after selling during the great Covid awkwardness.

Answer

Annoying for sure, not difficult to set it up ahead of time. Should be an easy convo, but then again, some don't care

Answer

Depends on if they are bouncing between multiple screens. Sometimes its not convenient to go full screen if I'm moving between a demo environment and slides. But if its 100% slides - full screen all the way!

Answer

You can just let them know - it can be difficult to know what shows or doesn’t when you’re sharing your screen.

Answer

Gotta be full screen, no guides, no clutter. You’re not wrong.

Answer

It's annoying for sure, do mention it to your colleague. Share, care.

Answer

Annoying? Yes, as we strive for the "perfect demo" every time.

Answer

Could be right,but do you mean like any sort of apps in the background or unrelated specific ones!
