We also recommend that speakers perform the following prior to speaking at a session:

• After opening a room and starting the video conference, it may take up to a minute for the "Go live" button to become clickable.
• When adding/removing speakers from the broadcast, it will 1-2 seconds for the speaker names (labels) to adjust to the new positions in the live stream.
