Technical aspects
You will have panelist role in the zoom webinar. A (preferably up-to-date) zoom desktop installation is prerequisite for you to be able to access the practice session mode before the seminar goes live, and for you to be able to share your screen during the talk. So please make sure you are not using the browser extension or web application only. Besides that, any presentation mode which can run on your own computer should work.

Practice session
We will come online in "practice session mode" 15 minutes before the seminar, so you can test out anything you'd like. In case you would prefer a separate/longer practice session, please let us know.

Presentation layout optimised for the stream and recording
As you can see in the already uploaded zoom stream recordings, a small video frame of the speaker will be placed in the top right corner. So while designing your presentation, please try to avoid putting important text there, as it won't be visible in the recorded version.
