+# Process
+
+This year we are experimenting with per-talk pads in order to simplify
+the experience for the speakers, since many speakers found it
+difficult to find and focus on their section in a long pad.
+
+Open one window with the watch page for the EmacsConf track so that
+you can watch the prerecorded video and the Q&A session. Open another
+for the pad for the current talk. You can get the pad URL from the
+watch page, the talk page, the IRC announcements, or by navigating the
+**Next talks** links on a pad.
+
+You don't need to make a verbatim transcription. Short bullet-points
+are enough. If you're not sure about a term, you can mark it with
+something like ?? and someone else may be able to fill it in. If you
+happen to be able to quickly add timestamps in US/Eastern time, that
+may be handy.
+
+If you would like to continue scribing the live Q&A for a session even
+after the next pre-recorded talk starts, you can join the BBB session
+for the live Q&A. Scribing live Q&A sessions might be more useful than
+scribing the pre-recorded video portion because people will have
+access to the videos and possibly transcripts, while Q&A may take a
+while to extract. 
+
+To make it easier for the hosts and speakers, we keep the BBB room
+URLs secret until the hosts or speakers give the OK to open it up.
+When the host or speaker invites everyone in, you can add the BBB URL
+to the Etherpad to make it easier for people to join from there.
+
+You can keep an eye on the time to see when the next live Q&A session
+is starting so that you can join the next one if there are overlapping
+sessions.
+
+# After the conference
+
+We'll archive the pad on the talk page after the event, so your work
+will also help people follow up, find ideas and answers, and get even
+more out of EmacsConf 2022. Thank you!
