About device
In the case of a defense with some remote public and/or jury:
– The BBS and CARF auditoriums are equipped with a videoconference bar.
– The Broca auditorium is equipped with a rather complex videoconferencing system that is sometimes unstable. It’ll need some tests.
Key points:
– Remember to have an Eduroam connection on your computer!
