### Joining talks, keynotes and panels

The Talks, Keynotes, and Panels will be transmitted via YouTube, so you will have two options:

* Watch them directly on YouTube, or
* Watch them within Discord.
**The Talks, Keynotes, and Panels will be transmitted via YouTube. The questions and comments should
go on Discord**.

The interaction will be **only on Discord** so we encourage you to stay around and join the
**media channels** in order to watch the videos, because the chat will be disabled on YouTube.
The interaction will be **only on Discord** so we encourage you to stay around and share your
thoughts and questions there!

As you might have seen in our schedule, we have a **Main Room** and one for **Activities and Open
Spaces**, which will be equivalent to the `main-room` and `activities-room`.
Spaces**, which will be equivalent to the `#main-room` and `#activities-room`.

In the following image you can also find the channels `main-room-media` and `activities-media`
which are **Audio channels**. You can distinguish them by the 🔈 icon on the left side.

When you click this channel, **you will enter automatically** (a sound will get your attention) and
once inside, you can enable/disable your microphone and video.

Even though this is an audio channel, it can also be used to shared videos, so a volunteer will
start an Activity within that channel with the YouTube streaming that you will be able to join,
**and this will be the mechanism to watch the talks**.
*Even though this is an audio channel, it can also be used to shared videos, so a volunteer will
be able to share their screen in order to show some of the videos as an alternative to watch some of
the sessions*.

### The sprints and activities

As long as there is no special announcement, all the sprints and activities will be hosted within
discord on the Audio channels we described before. Instead of the normal activity on YouTube that
you can join, people will share their webcams, and screens in order to provide the introduction
to the topic (sprints) and to give a short presentation (activities).
As long as there is no special announcement, **all the sprints and activities will be hosted within
discord** on the `#activities-media` channel (for video/audio), and in `#activities` for text based
communication.
People will share their webcams, and screens in order to provide the introduction

**During the [Mentored sprints session](https://pretalx.com/pyladiescon-2024/talk/TYVM8N/) you will
be able to check all the projects that are participating**.

#### Notes for Workshops facilitators

1. The rooms for your activity will happen on `#activities` for a text-only communication, and
`#activities-media` for you to join, share your screen and enable your microphone.
2. People can join the workshop by clicking on the `#activities-media` channel, and you will have
the permissions to mute participants in case they have the microphone open.
3. For sharing your screen, enable your camera, and mute your microphone, you will have a **menu at
the bottom of the screen**, and also in your profile section (bottom left corner) - Like
described in the following image, and the red-rectangles.

### Notes for Sprints facilitators

Like the **workshops**, you will be able to host your sprint on Discord, but the main difference
is that the Sprints will have a forum channel rather than a text-based channel, to provide
a better interaction with all the participants.

Check the `Sprints🏃` category to find your sprints **forum channel** and **video/audio channel**.
