Yes. 453: the moderator/hosts that lets it happen. -
@NicoleCRust @tdverstynen what do we think is the best strategy to avoid this? Especially if the moderator might be an ECR and the speaker a famous established researcher... Cut the mic if technically possible and once several reminders didn't work?

@elduvelle @NicoleCRust @tdverstynen I wrote an app for this (just needs a browser, and not even an internet connection if you download the html file). Just stick this on a laptop that faces them. It works surprisingly well at keeping people on time (and easily configurable).
