Virtual Oral Presentation Submission Guidelines

Time management is critical to the success of VIS2026, therefore, scientific presentations must be submitted as video files before the conference. Several video conferencing tools exist. Please refer to ‘presentation recording options’ below for information on how to record your presentation. You can use any relevant software as long as the final product is a good quality recording and the final file is in the MP4 format. Please note the final specifications will be checked at the time of submission and files not compliant may not be uploaded. Presentations will be available during the designated conference session time slot and on-demand after the conference concludes.

The deadline for presentation submission is 29 May 2026.

Guidelines for author submission are detailed below:

Please review the following requirements carefully before submitting your presentation video via the Dropbox File Request link provided.

  Please ensure you check the program to confirm the length of your presentation before uploading.
• A tolerance of approximately ±2 minutes is acceptable.
• Presentations exceeding the maximum duration may be edited or shortened by the organisers.
• A combined live Q&A session will follow each session. Presenting authors must be available to participate in the live Q&A.

Presentation recording options

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 the platform of your choice (see below). Presentations should consist of a prominent view of the presentation slides combined with audio of the spoken presentation. Presentations may optionally contain a small overlayed thumbnail-size shot of the presenter’s head and shoulders.

Tips for recording good quality videos:

• Use a quiet area to record your presentation.
• Avoid areas that have echo.
• Smaller rooms will increase video quality.
• Sound dampening is provided by carpeting, curtains, and furniture.
• Make sure your internet signal is as good as possible. An ethernet cable is recommended, but if unavailable, a strong Wi-Fi connection will be necessary.
• If possible, use a good headset with a microphone close to the mouth but away from the direct line of the mouth to reduce “pops”. Where possible, avoid using default built-in microphone on computer.
• Conduct a test recording of a few minutes in length then review the sound and picture quality, mp4 format, and bit rate before recording the entire presentation.
