+ | //A: We recommend a headset for all participants. This will notably reduce audio echo and environmental noise in the audio streams.

+ | **Q: What are the limits for upload of presentations? | ||
+ | //A: Currently the limit for a single presentation is 30 MB.

We suggest to upload presentations directly as PDF files as your presentation will be converted to PDF anyway.// |
