There are lots of good reasons to add a video presentation to your iPoster. It’s a particularly great feature to increase the accessibility, reach and engagement of your research. For example, it provides a presentation option for those who cannot attend your conference in-person. Remember that your iPoster will live on and be available on-line long after your conference is over.

It’s also fairly easy to create your own recorded presentation using your computer’s built-in recording functions, or any 3rd party tools like, Zoom, WebX or Microsoft Teams.

A video presentation can provide a general summary of your research or explore a particular theme in more depth. If this option is available for your conference, the ‘Video Presentation’ button will be visible on the Main Menu of your iPoster Editor screen.

Please note that there is a file upload size limit of 100MB. If you need to compress your file you can use a free online service such as:
