DIY Slideshows

We’re starting a series of posts on how to make your own slideshows in hopes than more club members will be inspired to submit slideshows to share at our meetings like the one Debbie and Catherine shared at our December meeting.

The guidelines are here and there’s a (slightly out of date) post here.

We’ll be providing information on how to find royalty free music, on making slideshows with Windows, and with Apple devices.

Stay tuned…

Due to the Holiday schedule, for this month only, submission of your “Fix” must be submitted by noon on Sunday, January 3rd.

Images must be emailed to the regular club email address: contact@ksccc.ca

Submissions should be renamed to:

In the event that you may not be able to participate in the meeting to provide your comments on what steps you did, please include some notes on your process.

Online Meeting Best Practices

To get the most out of a virtual online meeting:

  • Mute your microphone unless you are speaking to the group. If your microphone is on, avoid sound playing in room, especially music
  • Disable your camera to minimize bandwidth requirements. If your camera is on avoid backgrounds with a lot of motion (ceiling fans, traffic out a window, etc.)
  • If you have a question type it into the chat box
  • Log in 30 minutes before the meeting starts if you need to test your set-up, otherwise log in 5-15 minutes before the meeting
  • Notify the host using chat if something is not working
  • To get the hosts attention try holding up a white card in front of your camera
  • Use a headset/earphones/ear buds if you have them. The echo cancellers will thank you
  • Use a headset with a microphone if you have one. Everyone will hear you much better than if you use the microphone built into your device or webcam
