Access to the laptops in the official University venues is reserved

• to all University members of staff with a valid @unive.it account;
• external users who have explicitly requested access to the computer when reserving a venue through the Venue Management Unit.

The following venues:

• Auditorium Danilo Mainardi
• Auditorium Santa Margherita
• Aula Mario Baratto
• Aula Magna Guido Cazzavillan
• Aula Magna Silvio Trentin

are equipped with a streaming encoder (the SMP 351® by Extron®) which, connected to the room's audiovisual system, allows you to stream instantly on a YouTube channel. Streaming on other platforms is also possible, but in this case requests must be made at least 5 days in advance to allow set up.

Only a few institutional events of general interest for the entire Ca’ Foscari community (e.g.: Inauguration of the Academic Year), selected by the Communication and Institutional Promotion Office or by the Rector's and Director General's Secretariat are streamed on the University's "Youcafoscari" YouTube channel and on other University's official YouTube channels. Events taking place at Ca’ Foscari will not be live streamed on external Youtube channels and social platforms.

The University reserves the possibility of using university videoconferencing platforms such as Zoom or G Meet with the support of technicians from the Multimedia Unit of the IT office (and therefore without additional costs), only on working days and in the following cases:

• when one or more expected speakers cannot make it to the event (this must be communicated at least 3 working days in advance);
• when a sign language or other language interpreter is involved online.

For other reasons and on public holidays (including Saturdays), it is not possible to request the assistance of an in-house technician. Please take particular note of the following:

• when using Aula Angelo Antonio Orio Gabriele Zanetto, Sala Marino Berengo and Sala Giovanni Morelli: you are allowed to set up and manage your own video conference, using the audio from the microphone system and the camera on the speakers' table (the University does not guarantee perfect audio and video quality);
• when using Auditorium Danilo Mainardi, Auditorium Santa Margherita, Aula Mario Baratto, Aula Magna Guido Cazzavillan and Aula Magna Silvio Trentin, you are not allowed to set up and manage your own video conference, and you must request tech support from the external company contracted to assist with the University events. Costs will be on the organiser of the event (see below, Requesting external assistance).
