    @petya will invite speakers onscreen when their session time comes, no need to install anything, you only need stable internet and a computer with a microphone and camera. Speakers should be online at least 30 minutes prior to their talk.
  • What you need to do for your session
    @petya will invite participants to join automatically, then you can play your slides (or not) and talk to people in your camera
  • A trial run of the live streaming on Thursday and Friday
    @petya will create a test event, invite all speakers for trial runs and everyone invited can test Crowdcast and see how live sessions will go. She will be available to walk everyone through the process during these hours. Speakers will receive invites.
