Few tips for the recording
- Find a quiet place to do your recording.
- Avoid times of day with too many interruptions
- Use a space without loud background noise
- Make sure the room has good lighting
- Don’t sit in front of a window
- Turn on a few lights to keep shot well lit, not dark
- Make a short test recording
- You may want to use Zoom or Teams to record your talk, where you can also share your slides during the recording; MS PowerPoint is also an alternative
- You’ll need a webcam and microphone
- Review the test recording for sound quality, good lighting
- Use Landscape, not Portrait
- If using phone or tablet, rotate device to record in landscape mode, rather than portrait. This is much better for viewing.

The WCRP Open Science Conference will be a fully hybrid and access to the Zoom sessions requires that every participant is registered to the WCRP Open Science Conference to access the hybrid platform.
