Using ZOOM for Increased Effectiveness

What can you do as a business owner to have better remote meetings? Is ZOOM as good as Face-to-face meetings? You decide.

Advantages

  • Some participants are more comfortable being less formal
  • Able to show documents or PowerPoint presentations
  • Able to rehearse participants/clients in advance
  • Convenience; Less need to travel
  • ZOOM is ideal in a situation where emotions may run high

Disadvantages

  • Requires Operating system updates and ZOOM updates
  • Incompatible software if some participants have not done a restart
  • Less able to see body language.
  • Static and audio feedback are common problems
  • “Zoom Fatigue” affects persons in the meeting
  • One party may lose connection and need to be re-admitted to the meeting
  • Laptop batteries may run out

Guidelines for a Smooth Meeting

  • Host should secure a private, quiet, place without interruptions.
  • The host should set up a “waiting room” on ZOOM
  • All participants should have a stable internet and reliable cellular connection.
  • If participants are in an office, they should be able to confer with each other “off camera”
  • Check beforehand to assure that systems are compatible
  • Participants should mute audio unless they are speaking
  • At the end of the meeting, a short summary or meeting minutes should be recorded
  • Each computer monitor should be set in gallery view
