Network and Permission Considerations:  🛜 🔒⚠️🚫

  • Keep network setup simple: Avoid VPNs where possible, as they can reduce load performance.

  • Hospital networks: Can be used, but may have security restrictions and bandwidth limitations in place affecting scroll and load speed. Always test network performance, access, and sharing permissions before live sessions.

  • Check requirements: Ensure all necessary programs, ports, and connections are open and accessible.

  • Have a backup plan: If the connection is lost or performance becomes poor, switch to a personal hotspot or alternative network.

  • Be prepared to switch: Familiarise yourself with changing networks (e.g., using 5G) if needed.

By following these tips, you can ensure a smooth and effective online presentation, optimizing both performance and user experience. Remember, practice makes perfect.
