Viewers Guidelines

In this guide, we will provide tips and best practices to help you enjoy the best user experience on the SCS Conference Platform.

Before the Conference

• Read the documentation thoroughly for directions, tips and guidelines!
• Make sure you have installed the latest version of your preferred browser (Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome exclusively)
• Get familiar with the platform (and the program, of course).
• Do not wait for D-Day to register: you won’t be able to register on the platform
• Let people know you are "away" at a conference - be it the ones sharing your living / working space, or those contacting you via email.

During the Conference

• Choose a quiet, controlled environment.Remove external distractions. Block push notifications from all electronic devices.
• Attend from a laptop, tablet or desktop only, never from a cell-phone if you expect to be a speaker!
• If possible, connect headphones and hardwire your computer to broadband via an Ethernet cable.
• Please be mindful not to overflow the technical team with help requests! We encourage you to seek quick answers to standard issues within this documentation and across additional resources.
• When navigating to other pages, right-click to open a new tab. That way you will be able to go back to the stage you attend without skipping a beat.

Interacting with your peers

• Each stage has its own Chat and Participants tab : at all time you know who is in the audience as well as their role (viewer, speaker, moderator)
• During the conference we recommend keeping the chat for the Q & A or technical issues.
• If you want to engage in informal talks, the Lobby is there for you : chat and breakout rooms are there to fulfill all your conversation needs.

Leaving a stage

• If you want to leave a stage as a viewer, you can do so by clicking on the "Leave Stage" button in the top left corner of the stage.
• If you want to leave a Breakout Room, please refer to the Speakers Guidelines.
