You will need to be online at least 10 minutes before your session. When your time slot arrives the session chair will call you to share your screen and start your presentation. You are requested to continue sharing your presentation during the Q+A section. You should stop sharing your presentation as soon as the last question to you is answered.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><strong>Sharing a pre-recorded video<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>If a video needs to be played back during the session, it is handled similarly to sharing the screen for\u00a0a presentation. There are two options needed to be enabled to allow the audio from the video to be\u00a0routed to the attendees and to enable smoother playback: Enabling the \u201c<strong>Share Sound<\/strong>\u201d and \u201c<strong>Optimize Screen Sharing for Video clip<\/strong>\u201d must be turned on prior to selecting the video player window. These selections can be found on the first screen that appears when you click on the green \u201c<strong>Share<\/strong>\u201d button on the Zoom interface. They are both on the bottom left of the white screen which shows all the applications open and available for sharing on your desktop.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><strong>Questions during the session<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>After a presentation is over, the session chair will prompt attendees to Raise their hand or type a question in the chat and may relay them back to you or allow the attendee to ask the question verbally. Questions can be typed also during the presentation: the session chair is going to collect them and then give the word to the person who made the question. For IS-EUD 2021 the program allows 20 min of presentation + 5 min of Q+A for Long papers, 15 min of presentation +5 min of Q+A for Short papers and 10 min of presentation + 5 min of Q+A for WiP and DC.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><strong>Helpful hints for virtual presentations<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>If presentations are conducted live you will need to open your presentation file on your device and then click the <strong>Share Screen <\/strong>button in the Zoom controls to select the application (i.e. PowerPoint) window. Your screen will then be shared with the conference participants; do not forget to run your presentation in full screen!<\/li>\n<li>As you will be sharing your computer screen to present your work it is recommended to prepare your presentation in a Widescreen format (16:9).<\/li>\n<li>Ensure that light shines on you from the front; try to avoid having a window in the background.<\/li>\n<li>Have a stable connection; if on Wi-Fi, try moving closer to the access point if you are having connectivity issues or use a cable if possible.<\/li>\n<li>Do a test run; test your equipment and presentation from beforehand. You can make use of our demo room for that purpose.<\/li>\n<li>Use headphones \/ a headset with microphone! Using a computer\u2019s built-in microphone typically brings in unwanted noise and can be detrimental to the audio quality.<\/li>\n<li>Attendees may ask questions via chat during your presentation and that can be distracting; do not look at the chat window, focus on your talk. After your presentation is over, the session chair will prompt attendees to \u201craise their hand\u201d and allow them to ask a question.<\/li>\n<li>Evaluate yourself; you can record yourself presenting and look for areas working well or any that may require improvement.<\/li>\n<li>Enjoy the sessions and have fun! Let your personality shine through, we all love authenticity and can retain information better when you connect with us.

In the unlikely event that a presenter is not present the Chair should simply introduce the next presenter. In the meantime, the Easy Conferences team will attempt to locate the missing presenter via the contact details she or he entered in the registration system.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>During the session<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The chair will be responsible to monitor time and inform the presenter that his or her allocated time is coming to an end. \u00a0Please have in mind that our program has allocated each presenter of Long papers presentation time of 20\u2019 + 5\u2019 for Q&amp;A, for presenters of Short papers presentation time of 15\u2019 + 5\u2019 for Q&amp;A, and for presenters of WiP and DC presentation time of 10\u2019 + 5\u2019 Q&amp;A.<\/p>\n<p>During the Q&amp;A portion the Chair will \u201cgive the floor\u201d to each person \u2018raising\u2019 their hand. When an attendee raises their hand, their window is moved to the top or the beginning of the line on the screen, so they are visible to the chair.
