Technical requirements for the webinar software
* Speaker would be reminded of their time by audio tones: one each minute for the first three minutes, one every 30 seconds until 30 seconds left, then one every 10 seconds, ending with an appropriate gong-like sound.
* Recording talks and archiving them can be really helpful for those who aren't able to attend.
 
== Presenter Guidelines ==
 
The webinar platform supports desktop sharing by Mac, Linux, and Windows servers. Centra offers to options to join a conference: desktop-based and browser-based. To share your desktop, you ''must join the conference using the desktop software''.
 
'''Technical Requirements''': Minimum configurations for Mac, Linux and Windows are on the [http://mt205.centra.com/SiteRoots/main/SystemCheck/SystemCheck.jhtml system test] page. In addition, the conference will use Voice-over-IP (VoIP), so you must have a microphone to present (and preferably a headset to eliminate echo).
 
'''Prior to the webinar''': Download and install the Centra desktop software. Versions are available for [http://mt205.centra.com/SiteRoots/main/Install/macx/setup.jhtml Mac], [http://mt205.centra.com/SiteRoots/main/Install/linux/setup.jhtml Linux], and [http://mt205.centra.com/SiteRoots/main/Install/win32/setup.jhtml Windows]. After installing the client, run the [http://mt205.centra.com/SiteRoots/main/SystemCheck/SystemCheck.jhtml Centra system test] to verify connectivity.
 
'''At the start of the webinar''': Follow the link to the event and enter your e-mail address into the form. You must select "Launch on Desktop" to open the Centra desktop client.
