Announcements and questions shown over the video

What the messages that appear on top of the video mean.

Sometimes the event team shows a message on top of the video. This page explains the two kinds you might see.

Announcements

An announcement is a short message from the event team to everyone watching, such as "We'll start in five minutes". It shows near the top of the video for about 15 seconds, then goes away by itself.

Questions being answered

When the speakers answer a question, the event team can show it across the bottom of the video. It shows the asker's name, or "Anonymous" if they hid their name.
