Greenroom for speakers and moderators

About the greenroom
Speakers and moderators should enter your session before it starts. This time is called the greenroom. Usually, it’s 30 minutes early, but this might vary. Your event organizer can confirm the exact time.
Use the greenroom time to check your microphone, camera, and screen sharing. Make sure to Allow Access to your camera and microphone if prompted. Attendees can’t hear or see you until the session starts.
We suggest completing your greenroom time several minutes early. Some attendees' computer clocks are set a few minutes ahead, so they might be able to enter the session early and see people in the greenroom. Because we can’t control users' clocks, the best practice is to turn off cameras and microphones early. You can still chat privately in the Mod tab.
Check Remaining Greenroom Time
A timer in the top-left corner of the session tells you how much time is left until the session goes live.
Transitioning out of the greenroom with NO pre-roll video
30 seconds before the session starts, your video, audio, and screen sharing automatically turns off. You spend the final 30 seconds waiting. Then once the session status goes “LIVE,” you can manually reenable everything to begin streaming to the audience.
This only applies to in-JUNO sessions. If your session is streamed in by third-party production company, your video and audio won’t be turned off.
The time could be more or less than 30 seconds, depending on how your site organizer set it up.
You will know when it’s about to happen because an alert with another countdown timer appears in the top-left corner of the greenroom.
Transitioning out of the greenroom with pre-roll video
Some sessions have a pre-roll video that plays before speakers go live. Here’s what to expect:
