Speaking in a LexGo Venue

Benefits of LexGo

• Table time to allow people to connect and collaborate at their tables
• Give participants a chance to connect with each other
• There is no chat to take distract from the presentation
• Provide time for participants to ask questions by stepping up to the stage

Pre-Event Setup

What you Need

• Computer (Mac or PC) with a good internet connection, camera and microphone
• Chrome or Edge browser (current version) or the Mac LexGo app
• While mobile apps are available for LexGo we don’t recommend being mobile while presenting (cellular connections aren’t as reliable)

Audio

• Use a headset or headphones to prevent audio echos and not sound like you’re on a speakerphone.
• Use something like Krisp.ai to remove background noise (dogs barking, cars driving back and other background noise)

Video & Lighting

• Make sure you’re set up without bright light coming in a window behind you
• If possible move your LexGo window to near your camera. So you’re looking more closely into the camera.
• Put a post-it on the camera with a big note “Look Here!” with a smiley face to look at while you’re talking

Network/Internet Connectivity

• Perform a network speed test at https://lexgo.speedtestcustom.com
• You should have at least 10mb download and 5mb upload for the best audience experience
• A hard wired ethernet cable is preferable instead WiFi if possible
