But sometimes there isn’t much to talk about.
Staff meetings, check-in meetings, status meetings.too many. We all have recurring meetings in our calendars. Your video calls will run smoother, the people on the call will be more engaged, and the ones who didn’t need to be there can spend their time on other valuable work. Keep your meetings limited to the people best suited to share their voices and contribute to a particular discussion and/or decision. Who will benefit from getting a summary email or the meeting minutes after meeting instead of attending?.Who will best contribute to this discussion?.While large groups are sometimes unavoidable, before every Zoom conference call you should be asking: It is difficult to see who is speaking, people speak over each other, and many will even start working on other things instead of paying attention to the meeting. Once that Zoom grid has so many people that you can’t see everyone at once.you have too many people in your meeting. The more people you add to a meeting the harder it is to manage and maintain engagement. Meetings often have waaaaay too many people in them. Keep attendance at your meetings to a minimum Hence the conversations like my friend shared above.Īre you one of those managers or meeting leaders? Or, are you attending meetings like my friend experienced? Your Zoom video conference calls don’t have to go down like that. It happened very fast and many companies (and meeting leaders) didn’t have the time or brain space to think about creating new habits or processes to help their Zoom calls run smoothly. We were all thrown into using video conferencing software, like Zoom. The COVID pandemic disrupted our usual meeting habits, (which were probably not great to begin with). It also gets exponentially worse with every person added to the meeting. You would think that the addition of video would make a big difference since you can see the people you are speaking to, but video conference calls seem to have the same problems. This experience is something that has plagued conference calls from the beginning.
A few days ago I got a text from one of my friends that said, “So done with video calls.
