Important technical requirements for digital participants

To guarantee the best possible transmission quality and stability, we recommend the use of a direct LAN connection (compared to WiFi).

• Before the conference, make sure that the sound and video quality of your computer/laptop is sufficient.
• Please make sure you are using the latest version of your browser. 
• The use of Internet Explorer as a browser cannot be recommended. Further, make sure that you do not have too many tabs open in your browser. 

=> Please check, if your browser and operating system support the use of Vimeo (here).

In order to ensure a smooth (technical) process, we kindly ask you – in case you are working with a company device (PC, laptop) in the company network (e.g. clinic, company) or with a rental device – to please clarify the following points with your IT department prior to your participation at the conference:

1. The following ports must be open:

• Port 443 (https)
• For security reasons, port 80 (http)

2. JavaScript must be activated in your browser:

3. For digital chairs & speakers:

• Please check here if your browser and operating system support the use of Zoom.

• Please check that your sound works well and that you can be heard clearly. You can test your settings in advance here. You can achieve the best quality by using a headset. 
• We advise using a laptop or desktop computer, as this will ensure the best possible presentation. The use of a mobile device (mobile phone or tablet) is of course also supported by the software.
