Don t use animations or build slides. Greet participants as they enter, do an audio check, troubleshoot if needed. Use an opening slide instructing participants how to go through Audio Set Up and include an intro on how to use the Centra interactive icons and features at the beginning of each session (for both live and recorded sessions). Samples available. Have someone available to handle technical issues (watching text chat, sending out the Guest Attend URL). Remind participants to click their microphone icons to speak, if using VOIP. For sessions with a conference line, the leader can mute all lines by pressing *5 and #5 to unmute. Remind participants that running other applications during session can slow their session. Don t forget to select Publish Now after clicking Exit for recorded sessions! If you have co-presenters, make sure they wait to exit until you publish the recording.
