The larger your file, the more buffering that may take place for the audience of your event, please take this into deep consideration before you upload your file. 45-60 min files should easily be able to fit into our guidelines with the following recommendations – Vimeo Compression Recommendations.<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" IMORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING TIME ZONES:\u00a0 While the current schedule on the “All Academic” platform lists all times in Eastern Zone, when we launch the virtual platform via “Pathable” all sessions will be designated IN YOUR LOCAL TIME ZONE.\u00a0 Please don’t le this confuse you!
