Virtual meetings have existed since the 1990s, but their use has become more widespread and sophisticated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Schools and businesses switched en masse to video conferencing to continue the business, and even after the quarantine was lifted, the popularity of these meeting methods was largely retained. <\/strong><\/p>\n But why are they still used, and how do you ensure their productivity? In this article, Real Business will outline the unique benefits of online meetings, including how to master them and measure results.<\/p>\n Virtual meetings allow individuals and businesses to meet and discuss important matters easily. Thanks to clear microphones and webcams with enhanced video quality being incorporated into many laptops, it’s easier now than ever to connect digitally to others without the need for additional hardware.<\/p>\n The reasons you should opt for video meetings are as follows:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As video meetings are used more extensively, many have highlighted downsides that get in the way. For example:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The phrase “that meeting could have been an email” describes the sentiment of a lot of workers who experience poorly planned work meetings, and this translates just as well to virtual meetings. Abusing the convenience of video meetings can quickly lead to burnout, meaning it’s just as important if not more important to approach these gatherings with a good philosophy and etiquette.<\/p>\n When preparing for a meeting, you need to identify the specific needs required by or for both meeting participants and the meeting agenda. For example:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hosting virtual meetings means being a conductor. By mastering your virtual surroundings, you can ensure your ability to direct the meeting is a lot more effective.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The number one way to dull the effect of your online meetings is to fail to engage properly. This can cause participants to zone out, which is the exact opposite of what you want. Ensure that you:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A huge part of creating engaging narratives, both fictional and non-fictional, is cutting out anything you don’t need. This is hard to pull off in real-time, but so long as you approach your online meeting with the mindset that you shouldn’t mince or waste words, you can go a long way in ensuring the time spent is worthwhile.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Having meetings that were supposed to be an hour run on for an hour and a half is the most surefire way of making people dread having to log on to Microsoft Teams. A huge part of maintaining the integrity of your online meeting is to break it up into digestible chunks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For meetings that have a lot to digest, it’s always worthwhile to ensure you follow up later on for comprehension’s sake.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Video conferencing is convenient, but it’s not always the go-to answer. Knowing when to book a traditional face-to-face meeting goes a long way in demonstrating understanding and commitment.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Virtual meeting software is developing and finding more widespread use within businesses, and features are becoming ever more sophisticated (see AI companion modules). But at the end of the day, an online meeting is only as good as your approach. As with everything, keep at it, and refine your performance to stay ahead of the curve.<\/p>\n The post Best Tips For Successful Online Meetings – Expert Guidance<\/a> appeared first on Real Business<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Virtual meetings have existed since the 1990s, but their use has become more widespread and sophisticated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
