  • during the defence, the audience’s microphones are muted, cameras are turned off, recording is not allowed, and the chat function is not to be used until permitted by the Custos.
  • members of the audience who wish to make comments concerning the thesis can to ask the Custos for the floor in the chat function that opens after the opponent finishes.
