All presentations will be pre-recorded and played from video at the conference. Presenters will be required to record and submit a 10 minute (long presentations) or 3 minute (lightning talks) video presentation by September 15. Your video must meet the following requirements:
It must be uploaded to YouTube. Please make sure your video is either public or unlisted (i.e. we will be able to see it but no one else will be unless you give them the link), but NOT private.
It must be captioned with subtitles. Click the link for more information about how to caption your video on YouTube. Remember to leave space at the bottom of your slides/video for these captions.
It must be no longer than the time limits posted above.
You may use any method you like to create your videos. Two popular methods are to use Zoom or PowerPoint. There are countless resources and videos online about how to record presentations using either of these methods, but if you are having trouble, feel free to reach out.
