Video Conference
Many of our courses are available to attend in person or via live-streamed video conference. Please confirm details on the specific course page and your registration acknowledgment letter. You will need a reliable internet connection and the availability to virtually "attend" during the course time. Please read the Video Conference FAQs below before calling our office to register.

- a CE staff member assigned to monitor the video conference and to be available to video conference attendees.
FAQs
Q: Where do I find my sign-in link?
A: You will receive the sign-in link/access the week of the course no later than one day before the start of the activity.
Q: What should I do in advance of the course?
A: Prior to the course you should download and/or print any course materials. LSU Continuing Dental Education uses Zoom to stream our video conferences. BEFORE THE DAY OF THE COURSE, you should test your ability to connect by downloading, installing and testing the zoom application by using this link. If you are using the Zoom app rather than connecting via your web browser, please check that your app is updated prior to the day of the course.
Q: What can I expect on the day of the course?
A: You will "sign in" by entering the virtual meeting space via the link provided in your registration acknowledgement letter. We recommend that you sign-in early to provide time to troubleshoot any technical problems before the course starts. You MUST sign-in INDIVIDUALLY, using your FIRST and LAST NAMES. Anyone in the virtual meeting room not signed in individually, using their first and last names will be removed from the space and asked to re-enter. You must also respond to two random check-ins (in addition to regularly scheduled roll calls) and complete a short test as well as a course evaluation in order to receive your Verification of Participation Letter (VOP). Your VOP could be withheld if you fail to respond to roll call and random check-ins and/or if you fail to submit the test.
Q: What can I expect after the course?
A: Once our office has processed the documents you will receive your VOP. VOPs will be sent within two weeks of completing the course. If you do not receive your VOP after two weeks, please call our office. If it has been LESS THAN TWO WEEKS, please DO NOT call our office inquiring about the status.
Troubleshooting
If you are having trouble with sound using your computer audio:
Try signing out and signing back in using your phone connection for audio.
If you are having trouble connecting through your app:

If you are having trouble connecting through your internet web browser:
Check your internet connection is working (try accessing another website).
If your internet connection works but you still cannot access the meeting:
Sign out and sign back in. If this does not work, try re-downloading the Zoom application.
