Recording Instruction for Non-Attendee Presenters

In place of a live DOE NNSA SSGF/LRGF Program Review talk, speakers unable to attend the meeting are asked to prepare and submit a prerecorded video presentation to be added to the meeting website after the event.

Referring to the agenda, fellows are allotted 20 minutes for their talk; please plan your slides/commentary with this duration in mind. Do not exceed your allotted time and note that prerecorded presentations do not need to account for a Q&A session. If you're comfortable doing so, feel free to include your contact information on your final slide so program review attendees can later contact you with questions or comments.

Overview

Presenters should take the following steps in order to prepare their recording:

  • Download Zoom.
  • Set your default Zoom name and profile picture.
  • Set your virtual Zoom background. Choose the "HD" option within the Video settings if your camera/hardware is compatible; this will result in a sharper looking image.
