As IM 2021 will be held as a virtual conference, speakers will present their work on the Zoom platform for long presentation and Gather.town for posters, demo and short experience papers. We expect all speakers to give their talk live in the allotted time specified in the technical program, which has been put together considering the authors respective time zones. However, to cope with possible connectivity issues, each speaker is also required to record and submit a video of their talk by May 03. On that day, each speaker will receive an email from Whova with a link to an online form to submit their video, fill in their bio, and complete their profile
During the conference days, in case of technical or connectivity issues that prevent the speaker from presenting live, the pre-recorded video of the presentation will be played. However, at least one of the paper’s authors must be online to answer questions after the talk, otherwise it will be considered as a no-show and the paper will not be published in IEEE Xplore and IFIP Library.
The pre-recorded video is mandatory and must be submitted by May 03, even though we expect the speaker to present live during the session.
We strongly recommend speakers to check if they are assigned to their proper paper session on the Whova program page and to notify the organizers if you are not the presenter of the paper. In that case, you should send an email containing all the information (Full name, email, affiliation, country, JEMS paper ID) about the final presenter, from the paper co-authors, who will replace your Whova profile account. Please note that you won’t be able to access the conference content anymore. Otherwise, the presenter should register for the conference with the participation rate so that both of you can have access.

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.
