For the Live Event:
-
When it's time for your presentation, head to the backstage with the link provided to you by the Organizer of the event. (Link: https://app.hopin.to/events/virtual-toronto-entrepreneurs-conference/backstage/a6673fcc-5864-4b47-9c02-6e7d91524fa0)
-
Click "Participate" at the top of the Stage screen
-
You'll need to give browser permission for Hopin to use your camera and mic.
-
Choose your audio and video devices and click Apply.
-
Please ensure your PC sound and camera is turned on
-
The organizer will have to allow you permission to enter the backstage area so please wait until they let you in (you will receive a prompt when they allow entry)
-
The organizer will meet you backstage just before your presentation and will chat with you backstage to ensure everything is working – they will also come on screen an intro you and your presentation
-
Once everything is ready to go – the organizer will select “broadcast” – it will take 10-30 seconds to go live. When it is “going live” you will see small text in the left hand corner which is yellow and states “going live” – once we are live it will turn to a red “live”
Important Things to Note:
-
Please ensure your PC has both working audio and video for this presentation
-
It is a good idea to have a back-up computer/IPAD just in case your computer stops working
-
Please ensure your computer is completely charged for the event
-
The live broadcast has a 10 second lag from the actual presentation you are giving backstage
-
Please turn off all electronic devices near your computer as it will create radio noise in the speaking session
-
Please ensure you only have ONE event browser open for Hopin or the tabs may interfere with your presentation
-
Please ensure you have a blank wall behind you to eliminate distractions
Sharing Powerpoint Slides:
Here are the steps for presenting slides on Stage:
-
Open your deck in a new tab.
-
In the Backstage, click Screenshare. You camera will turn off automatically. This makes your slides full screen on the front stage.
-
Select the tab or application with your presentation. If possible, set up a separate monitor to be able to view the event chat and your slides.
-
Present from the Backstage, so you can toggle between Backstage chat and Event chat.
Remember: All Stage segments are recorded!
Chat: If you would like to chat with the organizer during the event – please look for either “Rachel Mitchell” or “Marc Belaiche” on the right hand side and chat with us directly.
Tip: While participating on the Backstage, you can turn off your camera and mic using the controls at the bottom of your screen — this will make you disappear from the front stage completely, event though your gray avatar is still showing in the backstage. It's a sneaky way to transition smoothly between speakers.
