Pre-recorded Presentations (optional for all presenters)

 

Instructions for Preparing Pre-Recorded Presentations

The pre-recorded presentation is an optional component of poster presentations. This should be a pre-recorded talk where you present your research to the conference attendees. This the virtual equivalent of the presentation you would give when people come to see your poster in a regular face-to-face poster session. We recommend a length of 10-15 minutes. 

Videos should contain a prominent view of the presentation slides and/or screenshots of your digital poster along with audio of the spoken presentation. Optionally, videos may contain a shot of the speaker’s head for increased engagement (this shot should be thumbnail-sized and overlaid on the slide images). Many presentation software tools allow recording audio and video directly in the application and can export appropriate video files. Please see the notes below for detailed instructions for PowerPoint.

Tips for recording videos

•    Use as quiet an area as possible.
•    Avoid areas that have echo.
•    Rooms should be fairly small.
•    Sound dampening can be done with carpeting, curtains, furniture.
•    Hardline internet connection recommended, but if unavailable, use a strong Wi-Fi connection.
•    Good headset with microphone close to mouth BUT away from direct line of mouth to reduce “pops”.  Avoid using default built-in microphone on computer.
•    Do a test recording of a couple of minutes and review the sound and picture quality, MP4 format, and bit rate before recording the entire presentation. Make adjustments if needed.

Supporting Documents (optional for all participants)

In addition to the multimedia poster, each presentation in Whova can also include supporting elements:

  • One additional .pdf document (max. 10 MB) 
  • Up to 50 photographs 

Supporting documents can be uploaded directly into Whova from the link which all registered poster presenters will receive. See the Whova Online Conference Platform page for detailed instructions on viewing supporting documents through Whova.
