Zoom is not compulsory but for most people it will likely be the most convenient tool. There are step-by-step instructions on how to record your presentation on Zoom, on this page.

However there are other tools you might prefer - such as Loom.com or PowerPoint. The choice is yours, as long the software you use will output an MP4 file of your presentation with video and audio, that shows both you and your slides.

The PowerPoint 'Record Slide Show' feature is fine as long as you record in 16:9 format and output as HD MP4 (1920 x 1080px). Instructions on how to do this can be viewed here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/record-a-presentation-2570dff5-f81c-40bc-b404-e04e95ffab33

Your conference presentation should be a maximum 15 minutes. 

This video from our supplier provides tips about how to look and sound your best onscreen. View pre-recording best practice tips.

Or read this PDF about their top filming tips.

A few tips:

• Choose camera friendly clothing - nothing too "busy"
• Ensure the room is well lit. However it's best not to have bright light directly behind you (e.g. an open window with the sun shining in)
• Try to choose a quiet location so that your audio comes through nice and clear
• Mute your phone and turn off any computer notifications that may make a sound or pop up in the recording window
• Position yourself in front of your webcam so that people can see you clearly. We suggest a head and shoulders shot

If you have co-presenters, you have four options:

1. Select one of you to do the filmed presentation via webcam, or
2. Get together in the same room (if your alert level allows that) and record the presentation in front of one computer webcam, or
3. Do a co-presenter filming in Zoom (if you are confident using Zoom as an advanced user), or
4. Pay for an upgrade to a ''hosted filming support meeting" with our GigTV tech team. This would enable you and your co-presenters to be filmed onscreen, separately, from multiple locations, and then edited for display together during the presentation, without obscuring your PowerPoint slides. The "hosted filming support meeting" is for an hour, which gives them time before and after the filming to help you get things set up correctly. This option is not funded by HiNZ as it requires us to pay an additional service fee to the video supplier. If you wish to use this option, you would need to fund it yourself (the cost per one-hour support meeting is NZ$390 inc.gst). If you wish to book this upgraded service, please email Kim at ceo@hinz.org.nz

It is important you create your PowerPoint slides in 16:9 ratio.

Please check the size of the file. There is a 1GB limit.
