Technical recommendations
The ESC Congress 2026 online platform is designed with a responsive interface that is mobile-friendly but for an optimal experience, we recommend that you access the platform on a desktop computer.
Supported browsers: we support the most current versions of Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox. Chrome is the preferred browser.
Tips for the best experience
Disable your web browser’s ad blocker (this is normally done through the settings in your browser). Turning off the ad blocker will help us confirm your attendance and deliver your CME credits.
Zoom out on your web browser to see the full room view. To zoom out/in, press CTRL while using your mouse scroll wheel.
If you can’t hear a presentation: Ensure the volume on your computer speakers is turned up and that the sound is not muted. Using the button at the bottom left of the video, confirm the volume level.
Interact during presentations
As an online delegate, you will be able to interact and exchange with the session speakers via a question and answer (Q&A) window on the right of the presentation. Ask questions and interact with other participants through the Forums. Each of your posts will be identified with your name and country, allowing the audience to recognise your contribution.
All posts* should be made in English so the global community can understand and respond.
*ESC terms and conditions: Participants guarantee that the content he/she submits on the Forum is not obscene, threatening, harassing, deceptive, invasive of another’s privacy, offensive, defamatory of any person, illegal or otherwise deliberately intended to upset or harm other users. The European Society of Cardiology reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to edit, refuse to publish, and remove any user’s content from ESC websites at any time and without prior notice.
