Steps to join ELS2024 as a Presenter

We request all the presenters and participants to go through the following instructions:

• Download the Zoom meeting app and sign in. We request you to download the latest version of Zoom for better security and performance.
• To sign in to Zoom for the first time, enter your full name, email address, and contact number.
• Check your network settings to make sure your network connection is stable. If possible, use a wired Ethernet connection or Wi-Fi.
• It is advisable to use a laptop or desktop for better delivery. However, you can also use a mobile phone for your presentation. Please ensure that there is no disturbance during your presentation.  
• Ensure you are in a place where you can control noise and interruptions. Make sure that other devices at home are muted or turned off.
• Please join your respective Zoom meeting (link, ID, and password will be shared) at least 15 minutes prior and check the audio, video, and network.
• You can connect to the audio by phone or a laptop using a headset connected to your device.
• To join the allotted room, use the link provided by the organizers by email.
• Use the 9-digit meeting ID sent in your email to join the session. The same will also be reflected in the schedule of the summit.
• As you log in, you will be directed to the Zoom waiting room. Kindly wait till the host adds you to the meeting.
• When it is your turn as a presenter, you must keep your video ON during the presentation. If you are muted by the host, kindly make sure that you unmute yourself before you start your presentation.
• The host of the meeting will make you co-host so that you can mute/unmute yourself and also share your screen. If you are going to use a PowerPoint presentation, please email your presentations (PPTs) in advance so that they will be kept as a backup with the host in case you cannot share your screen.
• You can also use other tools to contact the host by raising a hand or sending a message in the chatbox in case of any issues related to audio or video.
• If you leave a meeting for various possible reasons, you can rejoin if the meeting is still in progress. 
• To make presenters comfortable in handling Zoom, prior practice sessions will be arranged two days before the event.
• Needless to say, presenters should wear formal dress and look presentable on the camera.
• All the sessions will be recorded. You can request the organizers to share recordings with you after the summit.
