During the conference webinar

In the webinar, you have three options for engagement: Q&A; public chat; and private chat.

• Q&A (Figure 3): Please use the Q&A function to ask questions relevant to the current presentation or session. The session moderator on-site will be able to see your questions and will try to include them in the Q&A section of the presentation. Please note that if many questions are submitted by online participants at the same time, the moderator may not be able to address all of them. If your question is not answered during the session, you may contact the main author or presenter via the participant list on the Fourwaves platform.

• Public chat (Figure 4): Use the public chat to engage with other online attendees during the conference. If you're feeling sociable, feel free to introduce yourself and share where you're from. You can also reply to other participants and start conversations! Please do not use this section to ask questions about the presentations, as it is not monitored by the on-site session moderator. If you have a question about the session's contents, use the Q&A feature instead.

• Private Chat (Figure 5): Use the private chat to communicate with the organization team. You can use it to let us know if you encounter any technical issues or have any questions about the conference or its organization.
