Thank you for your patience with regard to instructions on video and/or poster image uploads to the SID’s Virtual Meeting platform.
Our platform provider has given us more information that we can now pass on. That information includes:
As you prepare for your talk, please note the following guidelines. This will ensure a smooth upload into the virtual meeting platform (upload instructions will be available soon). All presentations will be need to be uploaded into the platform by Monday, April 19th.
- All pre-recorded talks need to be formatted to MP4
- Pre-recordings should be recorded in Picture-in-Picture (PIP)
- Resolution for your talk should be 16:9 (widescreen)
Below are tips for recording your presentation in various formats
Recording your talk in Zoom:
- If pre-recording in Zoom, no real action should be required; Zoom has an MP4 format
- Same situation for PIP, if recording in Zoom, upon doing a screen share with slides, a video should appear in the top right corner. No real action should be required on your part
Recording your talk in PowerPoint:
- Once your recording is done, save your file as “save media as” and make sure the format is MP4. If needed, please refer to the Microsoft support website for tips on recording in PowerPoint.
- The system will not accept any embedded videos within any slides that are uploaded to the platform
Recording your talk in YouTube:
- There are multiple free converters online for presenters to use for YouTube videos or content not already in MP4 format…such as (Handbrake). You can also use (Greenshot), a software made simple for screen recording material.
We will continue to provide updates as they are made available to us. Those updates will be via this webpage, emails to all those who submitted abstracts, as well as notifications on the SID’s social media accounts (Twitter and Facebook).
Again, we are appreciative of your time and continued patience in this matter.
