Preparing for Your On-Demand Presentation

30-Minute Presentation

Presentation times are strictly limited as noted above. Presenters will be responsible for creating a recorded, narrated PowerPoint that will then be available for viewing on the conference platform. If you are more comfortable and prefer to use another program such as Zoom, WebEx, etc. that would be acceptable as long as the program used can save the file as an MP4.

How to Record Your Presentation with PowerPoint

1. Use either one of these provided PowerPoint templates Standard (4:3) or Wide Screen (16:9).
2. Record a narrated PowerPoint in a quiet, uncluttered environment (video narration is optional).
3. Save your file as a .pptx (for your records).
4. Export your file as an .mp4 (when choosing video quality, please select Internet Quality).
5. File should be named: submission ID #_video (i.e. 4567_video.mp4)
