Video Meeting Best Practices
Avoid Video Conference Call Fails
We hear the term 'the new normal' passed around a lot, but what is really meant is 'video conferencing culture.' We've abandoned the conference room to turn on our webcams and participate in video conferencing instead. These video calls may be familiar for some but the prospect is new for many, so it's important that we get it right. Good video conferencing practices can be a powerful tool for workplace culture-building while we find new ways to be a productive and cohesive team.
