How to Join the Session as a Virtual Speaker

To join the session:

    1. log in to the ISMB virtual platform (https://iscb.junolive.co/ismb2022) using the email you registered for the conference with.
      • It is important that you use the same email as permissions on the virtual site are tied to your email
    2. Once logged in navigate to your talk
      • There are multiple paths to your talk, for example searching through the Scientific Programme or via your profile page
    3. Normally clicking on your talk will bring up the details about your talk.  30 minutes before the session where your talk is scheduled, that link will instead take you to the video conferencing system.  This is why the email permissions are important

We ask that you join as early as you are able within the 30 minute window to provide ample time to troubleshoot any issues that may arise.

NOTE: sharing the screen with the virtual audience means presenter mode cannot be used.

If you need assistance joining the room there is a help chat available that will attempt to troubleshoot and connect you to live assistance.  You can also contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
