 There are two main ways to bring your computer screen, video image and voice to the live programme: with OBS, a sophisticated broadcasting program, or with a web video conference program, as BigBlueButton or Jitsi.

 * Web video conference: if you don't feel comfortable with setting up and controlling OBS Studio while giving your talk, or there are more than two speakers, we will set up a web video conference (BigBlueButton or Jitsi) for all speakers to join, which will then be broadcasted. * Web video conference: if you don't feel comfortable with setting up and controlling OBS Studio while giving your talk, or there are more than two speakers, we will set up a web video conference (BigBlueButton or Jitsi) for all speakers to join, which will then be broadcasted.

-You can use your computer to record your audio, your webcam and your screen at the same time. One solution we have had good experience with is [[https://obsproject.com/|OBS Studio]]. The software can be a bit intimidating, but there are many good tutorials available. There is also plenty of proprietary software packages out there.+You can use your computer to record your audio, your webcam and your screen at the same time.

 While it is possible to record with a camcorder and edit both the video and the screen capture in a video editing program, we think that OBS Studio is easier to handle, unless you are already familiar with a video editing suite. While it is possible to record with a camcorder and edit both the video and the screen capture in a video editing program, we think that OBS Studio is easier to handle, unless you are already familiar with a video editing suite.

 The video quality will be greatly improved if you can light your room and yourself evenly. Even cheap cameras, or cameras built into a laptop, give good results if there is enough light. If possible, choose a room without natural light, and make sure the lights in the room are not directly visible in the camera frame (which would lead to bad exposure of the image). Make sure that your face is lit from multiple angles, and that the background is lit approximately the same. You will need to experiment a bit to get a good setup. The video quality will be greatly improved if you can light your room and yourself evenly.

 +== Please provide materials for the interpreters

 +There is a good chance that your presentation will be simultaneously interpreted (from English to German or German to English, and perhaps into another language as well). You could greatly help the interpreters by sharing your materials. These can include
 +  * presentation slides
 +  * notes to the slides
 +  * pre-scripted speeches for your presentation or parts of it – this is of particular importance because scripted speech means much more complex language and often higher speed
 +  * text that is spoken in video or audio inserts played during your presentation
 +  * lists of technical terms or other complicated terminology or highly specific information that interpreters could familiarise themselves with in advance
 +  * names and functions of persons or institutions mentioned in the presentation
 +  * interviews and panel events are of course spontaneous situations, but perhaps the moderators have prepared lists of questions that they could share
 +  * etc.
 +
 +You can submit your materials
 +  * at [[https://speakers.c3lingo.org/|speakers.c3lingo.org]] after the full schedule has been published and if your presentation is part of it
 +  * through resources provided by your channel or other means
