Remember when we all gathered in a conference room for meetings? Fitting as many people as we could at the table, while others grabbed chairs and sat around the outskirts? Feels just like yesterday, doesn’t it? Well, while meetings will always happen, the way we conduct them has changed, perhaps forever. 
We are nearly two years into this global pandemic and there are several things that have changed the business world forever, including the use of digital technologies, flexible working environments and virtual meetings.
Virtual or hybrid meetings are here to stay, at least for the foreseeable future and the companies that know how to stay productive with remote collaboration will find it easier to thrive.
We’ve all seen the memes or videos of people attending their virtual meetings looking like they just rolled out of bed, or “forgot” to put pants on, and accidentally stood up! Or how about the dogs barking in the background or kids walking into the room to talk to their moms or dads?
Let’s talk about a few things to consider when attending a virtual meeting. Here are 5 Do’s and Don’ts of virtual meeting etiquette:
Do’s
- Be on Time
How many times have you been in a meeting where you are waiting on someone pertinent to the discussion? Unfortunately, time management is a huge issue with virtual meetings, as well as in-person meetings. With most meetings scheduled for one hour, if participants are 5-10 minutes late, once the small talk is over, there is minimal time to discuss the important things. And if you run over time, that means the next meeting starts late. It’s a vicious cycle! Consider a meeting application that helps to keep meetings on track, such as Synappx Meeting.
