ECMWF is working with Glasgows, our AV technician partner, to deliver the workshop. The information below will help you get set up in advance whilst also minimising delays on the day.
If you have not used Zoom before
Location, location, location! Find a suitable location for your presentation. Whether at home or in an office, please consider the following:

Some co-ordinated branded backgrounds specific to this event will be made available. We encourage all speakers to select one to use as a background during their presentation to give a consistent branded theme to the workshop.
|
There are three presentation options.

In order to save bandwidth and processing power, close all unnecessary applications on your device before your presentation starts. If your connection is very unstable, we recommend you pre-record your presentation. There are many ways to record a presentation on your computer and then save an mp4 video file. During your scheduled presentation, we will play your recorded talk. You will still need to join Zoom to answer questions at the end of your presentation. Please note, we need any pre-recorded content at least 24 hours in advance of your talk. |
Please allow 5 minutes within your time slot for questions. The event audience will be able to submit questions and comments during your presentation via a chat facility, and the session chair will read the questions to you when you finish your presentation. Any questions that are not covered in the live Q&A will be posted in the “comments” at the bottom of your dedicated presentation page on the microsite. You will receive an email when a comment or question is posted on your presentation page. Please reply to these questions during the workshop to continue discussions and maintain interaction at the event. |
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. |

If you have chosen to share your screen, here are some tips to save time when sharing your screen.
|
Only join Zoom for the session in which you are presenting. You should view the other sessions via the live stream. Do not have the live stream open while you are in Zoom, as this may result in you hearing delayed audio back on yourself. |
