Presenter/Moderator Training
- How to Access your Session
- Links will be emailed to all presenters/moderators (or use the links on the main agenda emailed to all registrants)
- On the day of your session, someone from UND will start your meeting ~10 minutes prior to its start time.
- Meetings will have waiting rooms; UND Host will admit the presenter/moderator & promote them to co-host
- You can get prepped for your session in that 10-minute window (set up screen share, do camera/audio check, adjust your screen, communicate session needs between moderator & presenter)
- Presenter/Moderator can admit attendees at session start time/when they are ready. UND host is available for tech difficulties.
Zoom Tips
- Screen Sharing: make sure to select the correct tab to share; make the view of what you want attendees to see full-screen; if you’re screen sharing video or sound, check boxes to share computer audio & optimize for video
- Video Settings: you’re able to hide non-video participants, spotlight your video when talking, and expand gallery view under this tab
- Audio Settings: Test your Mic/Speakers
- Do not use Digital Backgrounds: these can slow down performance for you AND for viewers
- Moderators
- Welcome attendees (presenter can too, obviously)
- Formally begin session
- See suggested script below
- Monitor Time – make sure to give a ~5 min warning
- Share the Session Evaluation form at the end of the session
