titleThe importance of time

Please keep to time, noting the previous point in 'Questions from the audience'. The session chair may interrupt you if you overrun. Whilst at an in-person event, speakers may be able to stretch the timing; that is not the case in the virtual world. The virtual audience will be tuning in to see what they need as specified in the programme and will expect us to be on time.

To help keep an eye on the time for your presentation, we have set up a timer in the Zoom speakers' room. We recommend 'pinning' the timer before your talk begins. To do this:

  1. Hover or click on the 'Timer' thumbnail
  2. Click the three dots in the top right of the thumbnail
  3. Click 'Pin'. This will turn on the pin and keep the 'Timer' thumbnail at the top of your gallery.
  4. To remove the pin, click the three dots again and 'Remove pin'

Depending on the number of people in the call, you may not see 'Timer' in your gallery. If this is the case, click the 'View' button (top right), then click 'Gallery view', then scroll through the thumbnails until you find 'Timer', then follow the instructions above.
