Guidelines for recording
The presenters are free to choose their preference of video recording software. The easiest way to prepare your presentation video will be to subscribe to the free version of Zoom and use it to record your presentation video. Alternatively, you can use PowerPoint recording and Save As to MP4. Please check the recording for quality and understandability, and for timing, as it needs to fit into the specified duration. Do not forget to save your file in the best format. Although the form of the video presentation is flexible, but we suggest that the video to be recorded in at least 1080p for best quality, if possible.
