Speaking in and moderating a virtual booth
Before speaking in or moderating an Expo booth
- Ensure you're using an up-to-date version of Chrome or Firefox

- Check your browser's and network's compatibility with our streaming software here
- Test your audio (best practice is to use headphones; this eliminates echos and background noise)
- Check your video; put camera at eye level (put books under computer if needed)
- Silence any distracting notifications on computer & phone (Do Not Disturb)
- Try not to move your device or rustle any papers while you are speaking

How to find and speak in an Expo booth
The event Organizer has pre-determined you as a moderator who can go on-screen (share your audio/video) whenever you choose. Attendees can request to join you on-screen by sharing their audio/video, but they must be approved by a moderator to be brought on-screen.
Moderating an Expo booth
Moderators see a blue button that says "Share Audio and Video." Moderators can go on-screen at any time by clicking this button.
Moderators see a "Moderation Panel" at the bottom left of their screen. When an attendee requests to go on-screen, their name and profile picture appear under the Moderation Panel.
The moderator can hover over the profile picture of an attendee they would like to add on-screen and click the "+" sign to add that attendee on-screen.
Attendee view
Attendees (non-moderators) see a blue button that says "Ask to Share Audio and Video." They must click this button to be added to the queue for moderators to then add attendees on-screen.
