Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pre-recorded presentation?
Students are invited to submit a link to a 5-minute prerecorded presentation during
the submission process. Video recordings must adhere to the following guidelines:
I am choosing the virtual option for presenting and have never presented at a virtual
conference before. How can I familiarize myself with the technology and make sure
that everything goes according to plan?
We will be using Microsoft Teams for presenters who choose the virtual option. Teams
will allow multiple people to virtually attend a session. Presenters can share their
screen to show a presentation (e.g., PowerPoint, Keynote) or other visuals. Attendees
can ask questions virtually or by using a chat box within the session. More specific
details on how to use Teams for the Bagwell College Student Scholars Expo will be
sent to each participant.
How do I find when I'm presenting and the link to do my virtual presentation?
A detailed schedule will be shared by participants a week before the event. The schedule will include links to the different sessions.
Is there a different Microsoft Teams link for presenters versus attendees?
No. Everyone uses the same link to join the session.
How does a presentation work for a virtual conference?
