-If you're planning to do live Q&A, you can check your system setup at
-https://test.bigbluebutton.org/ . We'll set up a tech-check call with
-you, too. We'll post details here closer to that time.
+We ask that speakers who plan to participate in live Q&A sessions schedule
+a short tech-check in the weeks leading to the conference; this is to ensure
+that you can perform all the common tasks you'd need such as sharing your
+screen or toggling your microphone.
+
+We use BigBlueButton for our video-conferencing needs, and a quick way to
+familiarize yourself with it is to run it in a test-room:
+https://test.bigbluebutton.org/
+
+If this is your first time at EmacsConf or if you run into any problems,
+please get in touch with us and we'll sort things out together! In those
+cases, since we'll need to schedule a 1-on-1 tech-check with you, we ask that
+you email the closest volunteer to your timezone in the list below (or zaeph
+if none of the timezones is a good fit). You can also visit us at
+[#emacsconf-org on Libera](irc://libera.chat/#emacsconf-org).
+
+We will likely schedule those 1-on-1 tech-checks with you on Saturdays or
+Sundays, but we would be happy to try and work out another time if that
+doesn't work for you.
