    Hi, I am a Zoom and MS Teams conference technical specialist as well as a former television producer. My Zoom webinars and conferences are run to the second like a TV production. I specialize in Zoom and I have been producing Zoom video meetings, conferences, and parties for the last 5+ years for clients all over the world. I am a Zoom partner with an account executive at Zoom who helps me solve difficult client issues. I use a proven 6 step process to make Zoom-like TV ensuring that my productions are organized and managed down to the minute. Jumpwire's 6 Step Process for Producing Hassle-Free Events 1) Schedule a kick-off call with the client. 2) Script build with the client. 3) Zoom settings - over 112 to be looked at and confirmed. 4) 15-minute tech checks for all speakers to make sure they are 'event' ready. 5) Pre-event dress rehearsal 24 hours in advance of the event. 6) Event day - pre-call, final tech checks, checklists, comms set up, etc. In the last few months, I have produced : 1) A multi-day highly produced project for Verizon. 2) The Future of Life Award Ceremony with Dr. Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates. We went live to Facebook and YouTube as well. 3) A webinar for Vaccinate WA for over 800 attendees. 4) A music production corporate event with DJs and musical artist Macklemore. 5) A retirement party for 20 people. 6) Annual general meetings for condo boards in New York, Toronto, Panama, etc. 7) A memorial for the Entertainment Tonight television team hosted by one of the on-air staff. 8) A webinar for the Peace Studio with the grandsons of Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela as well as the daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. If you are looking for someone who is professional and has done well over 1000 Zoom meetings and webinars that include large conferences to small all-day workshops then I will be able to help you. Questions for discussion 1) Zoom now has over 100 settings. Have you set up your account properly? 2) Is your event going to be a Zoom Meeting or a Zoom Webinar? Not sure? I can help you determine the best one that will make your event a success. 3) Will you require a recording from Zoom for the conference? 4) Will people be able to arrive early to test their connections? 5) Will people be allowed to join by phone? 6) Do you have a 'fiber' internet connection or just regular broadband? 7) Does your team understand the chat protocol? 8) Have you been Zoom-bombed? 9) Are you or your host using headphones and a stand-alone mic when you are on camera or only the mic on your camera? Below is an overview of projects I have done for other clients on Zoom that includes technical advice and running Zoom meetings. 1) Managed technical support and settings for Zoom meetings, conferences, and webinars. 2) Created and set up breakout rooms. 3) Set up and run Polls for conferences and meetings. 4) Troubleshoot connection issues for attendees at conferences. 5) Wrote scripts for hosts. 6) Organized and produced minute-by-minute rundown spreadsheets for clients. 7) Set up a Youtube repository for Zoom recordings. 8) Created best practices bible for the team. 9) Developed strong branding for the company using virtual backgrounds. 10) Ensured teachers and instructors had the proper computer, audio, and lighting equipment to teach effectively. 11) Managed across multiple time zones. 12) Trained key executives on Zoom's best practices including microphone technique, dual-screen setup, screen sharing, virtual backgrounds, personal Zoom settings, etc. Thanks in advance.
