titleQuestions from the audience

Talks are 15 minutes plus 5 minutes > CORRECT? TBC including TBC for questions/discussion. Please ensure you allow 5 minutes within your time slot for the Q&A. 

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.

We hope that talks can be presented live but if you are providing a pre-recorded talk, please ensure the duration is 15 minutes. If you are pre-recording your talk you should still join Zoom for the 5 minute question slot. However if you have scheduling issues and cannot be online to take questions after your talk, please view the recording of your Q&A slot and use the comments on your presentation page to respond to questions and continue discussions. You can also catch up with attendees in Gather.Town.

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 make use of the 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.
