Best practices

We would encourage presenters to always run a practice webinar in advance of presenting to your live audience. This gives you an opportunity to familiarize yourself with the presenting interface, test your computer's video and audio devices, and confirm that your internet connection is performant.

Here's a short summary of key tips to help you prepare:

Browser
You will need the Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browser (Chromium) to present.

If your camera is currently being used by another application or web browser tab, you will need to quit that application / tab before opening the BrightTALK presenter screen.

If this is your first time launching the BrightTALK presenter screen you will be asked to confirm that you "Allow" BrightTALK.com to access your camera.

Sound
If you are being joined by one or more presenters, you will need to confirm that audio is being received from the BrightTALK presenter screen. 

Please take a moment to check that you can receive audio through your Chrome web browser. You can navigate to any audio or video on the web to confirm that you are able to hear audio i.e YouTube

If you cannot hear audio through your web browser then check that your computer volume is turned up, and that you have not muted the audio output.
