00:00-00:30 - Introduction & screen check
00:30-03:30 - Problem definition
03:30-06:30 - Solution overview
06:30-09:30 - Technical architecture

```

### Opening (30 seconds)

- [ ] Casual greeting (these are colleagues)
- [ ] Quick context - hobby project
- [ ] Set informal tone
- [ ] Mention 30-minute timeframe
- [ ] Encourage questions throughout

### Screen Sharing Best Practices

#### Window Management

- **Single Monitor**: Use virtual desktops/spaces
- **Dual Monitor**: Share one screen only
- **Alt-Tab Order**: Arrange windows in presentation order
- **Full Screen**: Maximize each application when showing

#### Visual Clarity

- Use high contrast terminal theme
- Light background often better for screen share
- Avoid pure black backgrounds (compression artifacts)
- Move mouse pointer slowly and deliberately
- Use Zoom's annotation tools for pointing
- Pause on important elements

### Demo Guidelines

#### Before Each Demo

```bash
# Announce transitions
echo "I'm going to switch to my terminal now"
echo "Let me share a different screen"
echo "I'll run the command slowly so you can follow"

# Verify visibility
echo "Can everyone see this clearly?"
echo "Let me know in chat if text is too small"
```

#### During Demos

1. **Type commands slowly** - People are reading along
1. **Explain before executing** - "This command will..."
1. **Highlight output** - Use mouse or annotation
1. **Pause on results** - Give time to absorb
1. **Repeat key points** - For recording clarity

### Managing Audience Interaction

#### Since This Will Be Recorded

**Do's:**

- Repeat questions before answering
- Summarize chat questions aloud
- Use names when responding: "Great question, John"
- Pause for processing lag (2-3 seconds)
- Check periodically: "Any questions so far?"

**Don'ts:**

- Don't share sensitive information
- Avoid inside jokes or references
- Don't mention specific clients/projects
- Keep language professional (it's recorded)

#### Engagement Techniques

1. **Polls/Chat Questions**

   - "Drop in chat: Have you used computer vision before?"
   - "On a scale of 1-5, how familiar are you with pose estimation?"

1. **Break Points**

   - "I'll pause here for questions"
   - "Feel free to unmute if you have questions"

1. **Visual Cues**

   - "Thumbs up if you can see my terminal"
   - "Raise hand if the text is too small"

### Speaking for the Recording

- **Introduce context**: Future viewers won't have chat context
- **Explain visual elements**: "As you can see on line 15..."
- **Timestamp references**: "At this point in the process..."
- **Summarize discussions**: "The question was about..."

## 🚨 Contingency Plans

### If Demo Fails

```bash
# Have backup ready
"Let me show you the output from an earlier run"
"I have a screenshot of the expected result"
"The recording will include a working version"
```

1. Switch to backup video
1. Show screenshots
1. Explain what should happen
1. Move on confidently
1. Offer to show after presentation

### Connection Issues

#### Your Connection Drops

1. Rejoin immediately via phone app
1. Ask co-host to explain you're reconnecting
1. Have slides accessible to co-host
1. Resume from clear checkpoint

#### Screen Share Not Working

```bash
# Quick fixes:
1. Stop and restart share
2. Share entire desktop instead of window
3. Have co-host share your slides
4. Use Zoom whiteboard for diagrams
```

#### Audio Issues

- Switch to phone audio
- Use chat for critical information
- Have co-host relay your messages
- Reschedule if severe

### If Running Over Time

1. Skip to key demos
1. Summarize remaining slides
1. Share full deck after
1. Focus on main takeaway
1. Offer follow-up session

### If Running Under Time

1. Add more demo scenarios
1. Show additional features
1. Dive deeper into technical details
1. Extended Q&A
1. Live coding session
