Speaker Training

Step 1. Computer Setup

This step needs to be completed before you attend tech training on the day. All presenters and co-presenters need to complete this step in order for your live stream to work. The following items are needed to complete your computer setup:

  1. Download the Google Chrome Web Browser: https://www.google.com/chrome/

  2. Install the Crowdcast Screensharing Chrome Extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/crowdcast-screensharing/kgmadhplahebfoiijgloflhakfjlkbpb?hl=en-US

  3. Complete Setup Video and Audio test: https://www.crowdcast.io/setup

  4. Have a 2nd Device on hand ie computer, phone, tablet. Please, do not sign into your second device with your speaker email account. You will need to sign in with a secondary email.

  5. Mac Users: Macs may require an additional permission in your settings. Here are the directions: https://docs.crowdcast.io/en/articles/1002-can-i-share-my-screen in the last paragraph it tells you the setting to check in Mac to ensure you can share your screen.

Important Notes

Close all programs running in the background because it will degrade your audio and video. Livestreams use a lot of bandwidth.

Make sure you are hard wired into a LAN or ethernet line. Wifi is completely unreliable, and it may cause your live stream to drop. The only way to prevent this is to be plugged in directly to the internet.

Only have open the tabs you will be working with. For Co-Presenters, decide on who will be operating the slides.

Step 2. Join the Training You Plan to Attend
