Online Tools & Hybrid Participation
The conference supports hybrid participation for use by both physical and virtual participants. Please read on, regardless of your registration type. To support the hybrid part of the conference, we will use Zoom for the presentations and Discord for questions/answers and asynchronous communications.

Text & Voice communication
Physical and virtual participants are encouraged to use the official MobileHCI’23 Discord Server. The server will be used to support both synchronous and asynchronous communications associated with each contribution presented during the main conference.
During all sessions, participants can post questions to presenters or comment on the contents of the presentation using the relevant Discord text channels. Q&A during sessions will be managed exclusively via Discord - please DO NOT use the Zoom chat to post questions during the conference, as this will not be monitored during the conference.
In the Dedicated Poster & Demo session, participants will be able to also talk to remote presenters via dedicated Discord voice channels.
The Discord Server is available now and you can register ahead of the conference through the invite link sent to registered participants through email. If you have not received it, please contact the general chairs by email.
Please note that most of the Discord server channels are hidden until users have posted in the discord-registration channel and obtained the 'Registered' role.
