A normal, in-person meeting can be challenging; it needs to be engaging, interactive, and stay on topic. However, a remote meeting can be even more complicated. As a result of COVID-19, many companies have temporarily switched to a remote working model, which means video conferencing etiquette is pivotal to your success.
Remote meetings can be disjointed as participants dip in and out of the conversation due to poor connectivity. They can inhibit a natural flow of conversation when people talk over one another or accidentally leave the mute button on. And attendees may pay less attention than they would in a face-to-face meeting, often multitasking instead of concentrating on the conversation.
The good thing is, video conferencing technology has improved significantly in recent years, making it much easier for business leaders to facilitate a productive remote meeting. Below are 8 Must Do’s for your next video conference.
We hope these tips provide some useful best practices for your organization, both during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
