SESSION PRESENTERS
Your Goal: Help participants focus on your message by creating a clear, stable, and distraction-free Zoom experience.
Before the Convention
Identify the Right Device
✅ Join from a desktop or laptop computer.
❌ Please do not present from a phone or tablet (iPad), as these devices often limit screen sharing, camera controls, and Zoom features.
Internet Connection
- Wired Ethernet is best.
- If using Wi-Fi, work from a location with a strong, stable signal.
- Ask others nearby to avoid heavy streaming or video phone conversations during your session.
Camera Setup
- Position your camera at eye level.
- Face a window or soft light when possible.
- Avoid bright windows or lights behind you.
Audio Setup
- Use a USB headset or quality external microphone if available.
- Choose a quiet room.

Computer Preparation
- Update Zoom to the latest version.
- Close unnecessary programs and browser tabs.
