VIDEO PRESENTATIONS AND TIPS
The AMOS Conference is delighted to continue providing a robust convening space that grants virtual participants access to the collaborative and state-of-the-art SSA/SDA technical exchange that AMOS is known for.
The Conference Organizing Committee is requiring ALL poster presenters regardless of in-person or virtual acceptance to upload their digital poster and record an accompanying 3-minute video for inclusion in the virtual platform and conference app. Presenters are also asked to participate in virtual Office Hours to field attendee questions. More information can be found in the Poster Presenter details.
Please note that oral presentations will be livestreamed and no pre-recorded oral presentations are planned at this time.
Tips & Guidelines for Video Presentations
Device
Use a desktop or laptop computer to record and run your presentation file.
Screensharing
All applications, including your email, should be closed on your computer with the exception being your presentation file. Refrain from excessive mouse movements, clicking, and typing if not necessary.
Browser
Ensure you are using an up-to-date version of Chrome (preferred) or Firefox if utilizing the submission system’s built-in recording feature.
Video
Choose a background setting that is distraction free. You should be in-frame and centered, with your head and shoulders taking up a majority of the frame. Look directly into the camera while you are speaking. Your webcam should be eye level.
Test Run
Practice, practice, practice. Test all aspects of these tips by recording a short test video.
Review Your Video
Please watch your video to ensure there is clear, consistent audio and that your slides are visible and legible. You may re-upload or re-record your video as many times as you need prior to the August 28 deadline
Audio
Ear buds with a built-in microphone or a headset is highly encouraged while presenting to improve sound quality. Phones and other devices should be on silent mode.
Timing
Presentations that run long will be asked to be re-recorded. Some presenters may find it helpful to start a timer on their phone and set it within eyesight and off-camera.
Don't Forget
To smile and have fun!
Lighting
Have the brightest source of light facing you so that you are clearly visible when speaking. Avoid having lights, large reflective surfaces, or windows directly behind you or underneath you.
Attire
Military members often elect to wear short sleeve blues when presenting at AMOS. For all other presenters, dress is business casual
