SayPro Pre-Event Responsibilities: Online and Offline Logistics
Tasks: Test all virtual communication tools (audio, video, screen-sharing) to ensure smooth operation.
1. Audio Testing:
- Check Audio Equipment: Ensure that all microphones, speakers, and headsets are functioning properly. Test both for clarity and volume levels.
- Test Multiple Devices: Check the audio on various devices (laptops, tablets, phones) that participants or speakers may use to join the event, ensuring the sound quality remains consistent.
- Verify Speaker Settings: Test the platform’s audio settings (e.g., Zoom, Google Meet) to ensure that participants can hear and be heard clearly. Adjust the settings for optimal sound quality, considering echo cancellation and noise reduction features.
- Test Background Noise Management: Enable noise suppression features, if available, to reduce background noise that could disrupt the session. Ask participants to use headphones or mute their microphones when not speaking.
- Test Volume Control: Ensure all users know how to control their audio settings (e.g., adjusting volume levels, muting/unmuting).
2. Video Testing:
- Camera Functionality: Ensure that all speakers and facilitators’ webcams are working properly. Test different lighting conditions to ensure visibility, and check for any distortions or issues with video quality.
- Lighting Setup: Advise speakers on the optimal lighting setup to improve visibility (e.g., facing natural light, avoiding backlighting). Test camera angles and positioning to ensure that the speaker is clearly visible.
- Video Quality Check: Test the video resolution to ensure smooth, high-definition video transmission. Verify that the camera is not freezing or lagging, especially when there is movement or changes in the background.
- Platform-Specific Settings: Verify that video settings (e.g., camera switching, virtual backgrounds) are properly configured and compatible with the event platform.
3. Screen Sharing Test:
- Test Screen Sharing Functionality: Ensure that all presenters and speakers can share their screens smoothly without glitches or delays. Test sharing different types of content (e.g., slides, documents, videos).
- Multiple Screen Test: If presenters will use multiple screens or applications during the event, test the process of sharing specific windows or the entire screen to ensure seamless transitions between content.
- Content Compatibility: Test sharing media content such as videos or animations to check for compatibility with the platform (e.g., video resolution, smooth playback). Ensure audio and video sync properly when sharing media content.
- Practice Presentations: Conduct a practice run for presenters, having them share their slides, documents, and other materials to ensure the transition between content types is smooth and works as intended.
4. Platform Testing with Moderators and Facilitators:
- Conduct a Dry Run: Organize a test session involving key speakers, moderators, and facilitators. Run through the entire process, including logging in, navigating the platform, presenting content, and using features like chat, Q&A, and breakout rooms.
- Test Moderation Controls: Ensure that moderators are familiar with the tools they will use during the event, such as muting/unmuting participants, controlling screen-sharing permissions, and managing attendee questions.
- Ensure Breakout Room Functionality: If breakout rooms will be used, test how participants will be moved into them, how discussions will be managed, and how facilitators can easily navigate between rooms to provide support.
5. Internet Connection Check:
- Test Internet Speed: Ensure that the event platform’s internet requirements are met by testing internet speeds for all involved parties, including presenters, moderators, and attendees. The connection should be stable with sufficient upload/download speeds for smooth video and audio transmission.
- Backup Internet Solutions: Have backup internet plans in place (e.g., mobile hotspots or backup devices) in case of internet disruptions. Make sure presenters and facilitators have a secondary connection option.
- Verify Wi-Fi and Ethernet Connections: If possible, ensure participants use a wired Ethernet connection for better stability. For Wi-Fi users, test the signal strength and reliability.
6. Test Interactive Features:
- Q&A and Chat Functionality: Test the platform’s Q&A and chat features to ensure they work smoothly for both speakers and attendees. Ensure moderators can manage and filter questions or comments.
- Polling and Surveys: Test any polling features or real-time surveys you plan to use. Confirm that results are displayed correctly and that attendees can easily participate.
- Raise Hand or Reactions: Ensure participants can easily use the “raise hand” feature or reaction buttons (e.g., thumbs up, applause) to interact with speakers during the event.
7. Test Recording Features:
- Record Test: Conduct a test recording to ensure all elements (audio, video, screen sharing) are captured without issues. Check the quality of the recording and make sure it’s easily accessible after the event.
- Cloud Storage: Ensure the platform’s cloud storage can accommodate the recording files, and verify the process for retrieving or sharing post-event content with attendees.
8. Review Platform Support and Troubleshooting:
- Tech Support Availability: Verify the platform’s tech support resources in case of issues during the event. Make sure contact information is readily available for immediate assistance.
- Troubleshooting Guide: Have a list of common troubleshooting steps available for participants, such as instructions for checking audio and video settings, logging back in, or adjusting connectivity settings.
9. Test Participant Experience:
- End-User Testing: Test the entire experience from the participant’s perspective. Log in as a participant (using different devices) to verify they can access the event smoothly, join sessions, and interact with speakers and other attendees.
- Participant Navigation: Make sure the event interface is user-friendly, with clear instructions for joining sessions, navigating the event schedule, and accessing resources.
10. Final Review and Confirmation:
- Confirm Readiness: After testing all tools, confirm that all systems (audio, video, screen sharing, interactivity features) are functioning as expected. Ensure all speakers, moderators, and facilitators are comfortable with the tools and platform.
- Create a Contingency Plan: Establish a clear contingency plan for any potential technical difficulties during the live event, including backup contact details and troubleshooting steps.
By completing these tasks, you’ll ensure that all virtual communication tools (audio, video, screen-sharing) are fully functional and ready for a seamless event experience.
