Oral Presenter Instructions

The SECESA conference will be held online and will be using the Let's Get Digital (LGD) platform.

Preparing for your presentation

• Browser – use the latest version of Google Chrome for the best experience.
• Connection restrictions – do not use VPN or strong firewalls as they can block the platform. To verify all is working properly you can access the LGD Testing Suite by clicking here.
• Sound/Audio – it is recommended to use a headset with microphone as it will lead to better sound quality than using your computer audio. Turn off all sound notifications on all your devices.
• Connection – it is recommended to use hardwired internet, using an ethernet cable to connect. This helps reduce the variability of Wi-Fi strength. You can however also use a fast and steady Wi-Fi connection. You can check your internet speed at: https://fast.com/.
• Dry Run Sessions – these will be scheduled closer to the event date allowing you to get familiar with the various functionalities. Please ensure that you attend these dry run sessions.
  
• Please use the following [PowerPoint Template] when preparing your presentation. To be uploaded via the online submission portal by 15 September 2022.
  
• Please use the following [Virtual Conference Background]. It must be uploaded, prior to the start of the conference, by each presenter in their virtual session room. Instructions on how to do this will be provided during the dry run session.

Virtual Session

• Kindly join your session 15 minutes prior to the start time to ensure your audio and video connection are working correctly.
• Prior to the start of the event you will receive your personal log-in details, giving you access to your own virtual room. Inside your virtual room you can set up your microphone and camera as well as upload your presentation to your content library. Once uploaded, it is possible to leave and re-enter the virtual room again without your changes being lost. We recommend you upload your presentation at least 24 hours before the start of the event by accessing the session in which you will be presenting.
  
• You can upload documents in the content library i.e PowerPoint presentations, PDF, images, or YouTube videos. Please note, that animations in PowerPoint presentations and embedded videos will not translate into the platform. If you have videos in your presentation, we strongly recommend uploading these separately. Alternatively, you can use the share screen option; however, to ensure that the quality of imagery/video is not affected, you will need to have a solid/strong internet connection.
