tips for successful virtual meetings
  • Mute yourself when not speaking.
  • Turn on your video camera.
  • Remain in the meeting space.
  • Type questions into the chat window.
  • Consider using a headset. Internal microphones can pick up background noise.
  • Make sure you have enough light as this can play a major role in how others are seeing you. Make sure the light source is not behind you and your room is well lit.
  • When joining from home, choose a quiet location that won't distract you or your colleagues.
