| c. |
A computer will be provided in each Oral Presentation Room. Bring a USB drive with your presentation file. |
|
| 2. |

| a. |
The online presentation will be used Microsoft Teams. Here is the meeting information
Meeting link: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/395647194910271?p=eDD9IZkAJidB92KF2L
Meeting ID: 395 647 194 910 271

Each paper will be allocated 10 minutes in total, including an 8-minute presentation and a 2-minute Q&A session. |
| c. |
Join the Microsoft Teams meeting room 10 minutes before the session starts. |
| d. |

| f. |
Session Chair will invite you to share your screen and unmute before the presentation. |
| g. |
To ensure a smooth presentation experience during the online sessions, we kindly recommend that all remote presenters complete the following preparations before the conference day:
| - |
Install Microsoft Teams in advance, if you have not already done so. |
| - |
Conduct a self-hosted test call and practice screen sharing beforehand. |
| - |
This is especially important for Mac users, as macOS may require screen recording permission to be granted to Microsoft Teams before screen sharing is allowed. If this permission is not granted in advance, you may be asked to restart the application during the session, which could cause unnecessary delays. |
| - |
For detailed instructions on how to share your screen in Microsoft Teams, please refer to the official guide |
