Instructions for chairs of virtual sessions

Please read the general instructions for chairs first. The instructions below apply specifically to chairing a session online.

  1. Follow the virtual access instructions and connect at least 10 minutes before the session starts.
  2. Identify yourself as the chair to the room assistant (“Angel”) through the Zoom chat and check that all speakers are present and identifiable by their names.
  3. Ask each speaker to share the presentation and turn on the camera and microphone when called.
  4. For questions, participants may raise their virtual hand or use the chat. Give them the floor in turn or read their questions aloud.
  5. Keep your microphone muted when not speaking. The Angel will assist with technical or onsite issues if needed.
