We use Zoom Webinars – where only we (the panelists) have our camera and microphone turned on. Those attending have their microphones and cameras turned off. They can use Chat to talk to us and each other and type questions using a Q&A button on the interface.
Your Host will start the Webinar at 7pm. It would be great if you can join around 7.15pm, we can then chat about things generally before your host introduces you. This is so that the attendees can make sure that their sound is working OK and it makes it more friendly too.
You can then screenshare, if you are using a PPT and give your talk. Your Host will then select questions that have been typed in for you to answer, and then finish by thanking you.
If you would like to do a practice run, then please let us know some convenient days and times shortly before the talk takes place, this would probably take only 10-15 minutes at most.
If you agree, then we would like to record your talk. We normally put talks on our website, using a link from our YouTube channel. There are several options –
- Do not record
- Record and make the recording available only to those that missed the talk (there are always a few)
- Record and make available only through our website (hidden on YouTube). If you agree, then we would also promote the recording on social media.
- Record and make available on our website and openly on YouTube. We would also promote the recording on social media.
It would be great if you would let us know which you would prefer.
You will receive a Speaker only link by email from Zoom, usually on the morning of the talk. If you can't find the link when it is time to start the webinar, then let your Host know, they can send it instantly to you. The email with the link can very occasionally end up in your Junk folder.
Any queries or questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. You will have the mobile number of your host.
