+I&rsquo;ve added chapter markers to your video in the backstage area to help
+with navigation. You can click on them in the backstage area if you
+want to easily jump around, or review the list that I&rsquo;ve included for
+your convenience:

Other notes and tips:
- You can use Emacs for emergency or ad-hoc announcements.
- Use OBS or `pavucontrol` to adjust the volume of BBB as needed. You might be able to manage `pavucontrol` off-screen with `ssh emacsconf-$TRACK@res.emacsconf.org -X -p $SSH_PORT pavucontrol`.
- You can also `ssh emacsconf-$TRACK@res.emasconf.org -p 46668` and start new processes from the command-line, such as using `track-mpv`. If you specify commands when you call SSH instead of using an interactive shell, you may need to also specify DISPLAY=:5 (for the gen track) or DISPLAY=:6 (for the dev track), since ssh won&rsquo;t pick up the variables from `.bashrc`.
+- If you have a Wayland-only desktop without any X11 compatibility layer (example: [Sway](https://swaywm.org) with `xwayland disable`) the suggested software (`tigervnc`) might no work. You can use instead for example `gnome-remote-desktop`. The password for the VNC connection can be retrieved from the file `vnc-passwd-$TRACK` (3DES encrypted).
