Preparing and uploading your presentation
Due to the extraordinary global health issue with the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), ICST 2020 will be held virtually, which will be held via the Zoom Webinar platform. All authors of accepted and registered papers for ICST 2020 are required to upload a pre-recorded video of their paper presentation.
The presentation should be recorded by any of the co-authors and will be available during the original dates of the conference and on-demand after the conference concludes. We will follow up with more information about opportunities to interact with attendees for questions and answers.
Preparing your video
We request you to prepare and upload a video of your presentation, comprised of a brief introduction with a webcam if desired, followed by voice-over slides for your presentation. This is a requirement for your paper to appear in the publication. Please do not try to upload Powerpoint or PDF files of your presentation.
For videos to be verified by the technical program committee, there is considerable urgency in preparing and uploading your video. Accordingly, we ask you that you please finalize and upload your video by 31 August.
There are several video conferencing tools available to record a presentation easily. In this method, you can show your face via webcam (if you’d like) and display your slides as you talk. You can use any meeting software as long as you get a good quality recording, and your final file is in the MP4 format. As a last resort, and only if you are comfortable directly editing video, you can export your slides as images, record an audio track, and combine the two using software like Kdenlive, iMovie, or others.
Our recommended approach to record a compatible video from the content displayed on your computer screen and voice recording via the computer microphone is to record the presentation using Zoom, available to users on most platforms and in most countries.
To record your presentation, you can use these common platforms:
How record a Cisco Webex Meeting
How record and playback a Skype for Business meeting
How to record a video meeting
Simpler, Faster Meeting Recording!
How to record a meeting in Teams
How to record a slide show with narration and slide timings and How to turn your presentation into a video
