2. Before, During, & After the Meeting

2.2. During the Meeting

At the meeting, you should:

  • Arrive a little early to setup your tripod and camera. If using a smart phone, you'll need an adapter. If using a camera, you'll need media such as an SD card (your club will need to decide if there is to be a shared pool of cards or if speakers need to bring their own).
  • Make sure all camera settings are correct.
  • If unfamiliar with the camera, do a test recording and playback.
  • If you are using the speaker's smart phone, be sure you can unlock it.
  • Make sure to position yourself and your recording device so you can get a good, clear shot of the speaking area.
  • The Toastmaster may or may not introduce you, depending on your club. If you are introduced, give a short explanation of your role and why it is important. If there is a meeting theme, you can theme your introduction according to it.
