You will also get session reminders for upcoming sessions you have added to your schedule. (Depending on how your site organizer has set up the site, these might be turned off). These reminders will appear at the bottom center of your screen to alert you that your upcoming session will start in about 10 minutes.

If you don’t see the video room when you open a session, it either hasn’t started yet (Upcoming) or has ended (Past). Once the session goes live you will automatically be routed into the room. You can also continue to browse around the website, then once the status indicator goes Live select it to be taken in to the room.

You may or may not see additional controls, depending on which permissions you have. For example, in a keynote presentation, audience members can’t turn on their microphone or camera. Learn more about what you might be able to do in a session:

Look below the bottom right corner of the presentation. The word Live indicates there is still time remaining. Once time runs out the word Past will display.

Info

Need more time? Don’t worry. If your microphone or camera is still on, you won’t be kicked out of the session just because the session time has officially ended.
