If you're short on time for a virtual presentation, focus on the basics. Pick three key points you want to share and build your talk around them, using simple visuals to back up your message. Practice with a timer to keep things tight and test your tech setup ahead of time to avoid last-minute issues. Start with a strong opener, keep the audience involved with quick polls or the chat, and only take questions that fit the time you have. Wrap up with a clear summary and one actionable takeaway. Stay calm, roll with any surprises, and focus on getting your main ideas across.

What are the absolute must-haves? Focus on the most critical information and cut the rest. Keep slides visually clean and text-minimized. Use bullet points, visuals, and short, impactful sentences. Rehearse your presentation multiple times, timing yourself each run-through. Use high-quality images, short videos, and interactive elements (polls, Q&A) to keep the audience engaged.   Test your microphone and internet connection beforehand. Use headphones for better audio quality. Speak clearly and at a moderate pace. Pause for emphasis and to allow the audience to absorb information. Structure key points in threes for better memorability and audience engagement. Allocate time for questions and be prepared to answer concisely.

Según mi experiencia, si hay poco tiempo pata una presentación virtual, conocer el tema a fondo y tener un mapa mental, con una estructura clara, enfocada en el método de 3 ( 3 títulos importantes, 3 subtitulo, 3 ejemplos), me dieron en el pasado excelentes resultados y he terminado muy confiada de mis capacidades como speaker, con excelente evaluación por la exposición y por la calidad de las respuestas. Esto, no se logra de la noche a la mañana, requiere trabajo constante. De esta forma, en el caso de que no exista el tiempo suficiente de preparación, ya está incorporado el método y todo se vuelve más rápido.

Here are some strategies: * Use a timer: Set a timer to keep yourself on track and avoid going over time. * Speak clearly and concisely: Avoid filler words, jargon, and complex sentences. * Prepare for common questions: Anticipate frequently asked questions and have concise responses ready. * Leave time for Q&A: Allocate a specific amount of time for questions and answers * Encourage audience participation: Use polls, chat boxes, or other interactive tools to engage your audience. * Share presentation materials: Make your presentation slides, handouts, or other materials available to your audience. By following these strategies, you'll be able to deliver a smooth and effective virtual presentation, even with time constraints.

work fills the time we allocate for it likewise any presentation can fit into the time we schedule for it 1. reduce words on slides 2. write your speaking track 3. record your presentation very often we assume it's possible to deliver for example 10 slides in 10 minutes BUT until we actually do it we don't realize how time flies when we're talking :)
