Comment on and ask questions using the chat function

Use the hand ‘clap’ icon in reactions when a presentation is over. After the questions, unmute your microphone and clap. Then mute again,

Use the ‘Raise hands’ function if you want to ask a question after a keynote or poster presentation. When the chair/moderator calls on you, unmute yourself and ask your question. Or, if you prefer you can type your question into the Chat function and the chair will ask your question, if there is time.
