Joining a Webinar Session as a Speaker
Webinar (for 20 & 40 minute sessions) - held in OnAir via Zoom, is a live presentation during which participants can submit questions and comments. When you join as a speaker you will be redirected to Zoom (you can launch zoom from a browser or via the app).
Join a Webinar
The webinar takes place on the OnAir platform, however, as a speaker, you have to launch the session in Zoom. If the Zoom app is not installed on your computer, you can still launch the session through a web browser.
- Before the webinar starts, you can “Preview” the session.
- If there is “Join”- you can access the session. It will be available 30 minutes before the planned starting time.
Once you click on the "Join", you will be redirected to the session page on OnAir, where you can see many functionalities such as countdown, session information, Live Poll, Live Q&A, Presenter chat and etc.
Since you are a speaker, you have the opportunity to join the session 30 minutes earlier to rehearse your speech and test your audio/video setting before the session begins. To do that, simply click on the "Join as a Speaker" button and you will be automatically redirected to Zoom.
During a Webinar
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 manage questions posted by attendees.
- Live Poll – you may poll questions to attendees.
- Discussion Forum – you may engage in a discussion with attendees.
- Presenter Chat – you may engage in a discussion with other speakers.
- Control Room Chat– you may reach Kuoni Staff here to get support.
*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.
Once it is your turn to present, you can unmute yourself and start your presentation.
