As CSNet 2020 will be held as a virtual conference, speakers are required to record and submit a video of their talk by October 14.

The recorded video should be uploaded on EDAS like the camera-ready paper.
For each paper, the presenter of the paper must be indicated and his/her bio uploaded on EDAS.

Instructions for Video Recording

Videos should contain a prominent view of the presentation slides along with audio of the spoken presentation. Optionally videos may contain a shot of the speaker’s head for increased engagement. (This shot should be thumbnail-sized and overlayed on the slide images as shown here.) Many presentation software allows recording audio and video directly in the application and can export appropriate video files. Please see the notes below for detailed instructions for PowerPoint and KeyNote. If you use a different application, please see the notes under Other Options.

3. Alternatively, you can follow this video tutorial which goes through both of these steps. Also, see this video tutorial if you like.
