Joining an AirCast Session as an Attendee

The session runs directly on the OnAir platform via AirCast studio and without the use of any other streaming platform (such as Zoom, GoTo Meeting, etc.). 

• Before the AirCast session starts, you can “Preview” the session.

• If there is “Join”- the session is live.

There are several tools that you can use to interact before or during the sessions. On the right side, you will find the following widgets:

• Session Information – all information related to the session and live caption*.
• Live Q&A – you may submit a question to the speaker.
• Live Poll – you may answer or vote on any question which was posted by the speaker.
• Discussion Forum – you may engage in a discussion with other attendees.
• My Notes – you may write down your notes about the session and later on export them.
• Handouts – you may download the handouts if any available.

*Only available for sessions which are going to be held on the main stage. A button to launch the live caption will be available under each session in the session information.

Live Q&A:

As mentioned above, Live Q&A gives you the possibility to ask the question directly to the presenter. You will see the question in the bookmark “Top” or “Recent”.

Please note:

• Your question is not visible by default to other attendees unless the moderator of the session enables it.
• It depends on the moderator if and when your question will be asked and answered.
  • It can be answered in written or oral form.

In the bookmark “My Questions” you may find all your asked questions and their answer if they are in written form. The reply to yours or any other participant's questions (if visible), can be found in the bookmark “Answered”.

Discussion Forum:

You may engage with other attendees and speakers in a discussion on the topic of the session.

Please note: 

• All comments you will post here will be visible to everyone, and everyone is required to abide by the DrupalCon Code of Conduct at the conference.

Furthermore, you can use the “Raise Hand” function if you want to be brought to the main stage.

• Once you “Raise Hand”, you will receive a request from the session coordinator to join. If you accept, you will be directed to a “Green Room” where you can chat with the coordinator. From there, you will be taken to the “Preview Room” and then the “Main Stage”. To get a better understanding of the rooms, check the “Speaker Tutorial”.
• When you are on the main stage, you can only speak and be seen. You cannot share your screen.

When the session ends, simply click on “Back to the Timeline” button.
