    How to change virtual background

    The protocol for your session chairing is as follows:

  • Check that all upcoming speaker(s) of the session is/are present and ready.
  • Allanelists not presenting can leave on their cameras but should mute themselves.
  • Oncthe webinar is live:
    • Welcome the audience.
    • Quickly explain the procedure that the audience can ask questions
      • by writing the question in the Q&A Box.
      • by raising the hand and being unmuted by the session chair (mostly for tutorial, and possibly invited talks and contributed talks).
    • Introduce the (first) speaker and hand it over to him/her for the presentation.
    • In case of a contributed-talks session, once the first speaker is done (6 minutes presentation plus 4 minutes Q&A), give the floor to the second speaker, etc..
    • At the end of the session, organize the Q&A:
      • Check the audience who raise hands from both onsite or online.
      • Read out (relevant) questions from the Q&A Box.
      • Check for raised hands and unmute temporarily to let the person ask a question. This requires the chair to be co-host: as a security feature, regular attendees in Zoom webinars cannot turn on video, and can only speak when activated by a (co-)host.
      • Check if some of the panelists have questions.
      • If necessary, try to get a bit of a discussion going by asking questions yourself.
    • Make sure to stay within the allotted time slot.
    • Thank the speaker(s) at the end of the session.
