Thank you for presenting your work at VTC2022-Spring!
In order to properly prepare for the conference, please start preparing your pre-recorded presentation to be uploaded by Wednesday, June 1 (read the full email for complete instructions).
In view of the COVID-19 pandemic, VTC2022-Spring has been moved to a hybrid, on-demand conference. A pre-recorded version of your presentation is required for on-demand viewing.
Note that because some delegates will only be able to access the conference virtually, all papers will require a pre-recorded presentation to be uploaded regardless of the final presentation mode.
Please prepare and upload a video of your presentation, comprised of a brief introduction with a webcam, if desired, followed by voice over slides for your presentation. This will be posted within your presentation time slot on the VTC Spring 2022 on-demand virtual platform. Please note that the file must be in MP4 format (more details below). Do not try to upload PowerPoint or PDF files.
Our recommended approach to record a compatible video from content displayed on your computer screen and voice recorded via the computer microphone, is to record the presentation using Zoom, available to users on most platforms and in most countries (more information at the end of this email).
In order for videos to be verified by the technical program committee, there is considerable urgency in preparing and uploading your video. Accordingly, we ask you that you please finalize your video by Wednesday, June 1st.
Guidelines for preparing your video:
Presentation Title: {Paper Title}
Presentation ID: {Paper ID} – This number should start with a “2” (It’s a good idea to include this when naming your MP4 file.)
File size: 150MB max (for each 15 minutes)
Video file format: mp4
Dimensions: Minimum height 720 pixels, aspect ratio: 16:9
Please note the final specifications will be checked at the time of submission and files not compliant may not be uploaded.
Please be sure the video includes the title of the paper, the authors, and a mention to VTC2022-Spring.
