Welcome Message

When a presenter logs in, they are greeted with a personalized welcome message, which typically includes:

  • Instructions for uploading and updating presentation files.
  • Deadlines, accepted file types, PowerPoint templates, and other practical information.

The welcome message is customizable and defined by the conference admin.

Admins can choose to enable a customized consent message for presenters. A report is available to admins showing which presenters have provided consent.

Note: Consent is not required to upload files.

Both the consent message and the button label can be customized by the admin. By default, the button reads:

[I, Full Name, consent to this message]

Presentation Upload Cards

Each presentation that a presenter has access to is displayed as a card containing session information and an upload area. This includes:

  • Talks where the presenter is the assigned speaker.
  • Talks where the presenter is added as an Additional Presenter with upload permissions.

If a presenter is associated with multiple presentations, these cards will appear in a vertical list. It's important to upload the correct files to the correct presentation.

Each card includes the following:

Session Information

  • Title: Presentation title (editable if allowed by the admin).
  • Duration: Length of the presentation. Hidden if the duration is set to zero.
  • Files Uploaded: Number of files currently uploaded to this talk.
  • Date & Time: Start date and time of the presentation, including time zone.
  • Location: Typically a room name, followed by the conference name (e.g., "Auditorium 1 – Demo Conf").
  • Deadline (optional): If set by the admin, this restricts uploads after the specified date unless the admin disables the deadline temporarily.

Upload Area

Presenters can upload files by:

  • Dragging and dropping files into the designated upload box.
  • Clicking "browse files" to select files from their device.

Default File Requirements

  • Maximum file size: 5 GB
  • Maximum file name length: 50 characters
  • Filenames must contain only ASCII characters (A–Z, 0–9)

Optional Restrictions (Configured by Admin)

  • Maximum number of files per presentation
  • Restriction to specific file types (e.g., .pptx, .pdf, .key)
  • Custom file size limits (lower than 5 GB if specified)

Tutorial Access

At the bottom of the dashboard, presenters can click "Show tutorial" for a step-by-step walkthrough on how to upload and manage their files.
