Requirements for Chairs

  • The conference should have a video presentation chair who serves as a single point of contact, and coordinates with all individual venue chairs (papers, LBWs, etc) or technical program chairs.
  • Conferences should use the PCS and QOALA workflow for video and metadata collection.
  • Video specifications (1080/720p, 200mb, srt/sbv subtitles)
  • Deadline for video submission should be at least 2 weeks before date videos need to be live (or longer for larger conferences; e.g. 1 month for CHI).
  • Chairs can specify a precise date/time to make the videos public on YouTube links subject to the previous deadline requirements.

SIGCHI adds a short video bumper in front of all recordings. The bumper asset package contains conference logos, ACM and SIGCHI logos and some data about the conference (name, location, date,…). 

Zoom Pointers

As many conferences are using Zoom for remote meetings and webinars, here are a few links that we find useful.

Closed Captioning

You are required to turn on closed captioning for all live content.  Currently, the ACM offers this as Zoom accounts with this built in.

The Zoom live Transcript panel with several buttons one of which reads Enable Auto-Transcription.
