Asynchronous (Pre-Recorded) Sessions
- If you choose to present your session asynchronously, you will need to record your session prior to the conference and upload to the Whova platform.
- Presenters will receive a link that you can use to upload your video, any additional handouts you would like to provide for attendees, and to update information such as your bio and photo.
- Whova supports most video formats such as mp4, mov.
- All pre-recorded videos must be uploaded no later than November 8.
Recording Video
Getting Started
Before you begin, quit all software not related to recording the presentation. Software running in the background may interrupt your recording with pop-up or sound notifications, such as email, instant messaging, or antivirus monitoring. Automatic backup software may cause the recording to stutter if it starts backing up your computer during your presentation.
Always do a short test recording of your presentation to ensure that everything is working correctly. After viewing the result, you should make any adjustments to the sound or video settings as needed. Then, start a new recording session and record your presentation.
Multiple Presenters
If your presentation has multiple presenters, you can either record each part separately and then connect the videos to produce a single presentation, or use a video conferencing tool.
