+- Test audio, webcam, screensharing
+  - Encourage webcam for Q&A, although make it clear that it's totally optional

+    that use system audio will need to be prerecorded
   - Multi-monitor setups might not be handled well by BBB; share
     window instead of desktop
-  - Possible picture-in-picture approach to maximize screen real estate if
-    needed
-    - Linux: share desktop, run cheese, set Always on Top

-- Get phone number for emergency contact, store in private wiki
-- Write down IRC nick, name pronunciation, and pronouns for inclusion in the

-- Encourage webcam for Q&A, although make it clear that it's totally optional
+  - Difficult to show webcam and shared screen at the same time
+    because BBB makes the shared screen too small. If the speaker is
+    interested, consider using a webcam app (Windows: their webcam's
+    camera app, Linux: Cheese, set to Always on Top)
+- Check if comfortable checking into IRC: #emacsconf-org channel via

+# Capture questions and answers
+
+During the conference, people will be sending questions via Etherpad
+and IRC, and speakers might answer live or via Etherpad or IRC. As a
+volunteer, you can help make sure those questions and answers don't
+get lost. It would be great to get as many questions as possible
+written down in the Etherpad, along with their answers. This means
+copying questions and answers from IRC, typing in answers given live,
+copying questions from the pad into IRC if that's where the speaker is
+paying attention, and so on. It's a bit of a scramble, but it keeps
+the conversation going even after the event.
