16 Jul Advantages of Online Meetings

Online meetings let you join a meeting of clients regardless of whether you are at the home, in a café or on the go. This is an enormous benefit for those of us who have chosen to work remotely, and it allows for greater inclusiveness in the workplace. It allows those not able to travel due to illness, childcare or financial constraints to still participate in meetings.

Virtual meetings offer the benefit of starting and ending on time. Typically, the agenda will be circulated prior to the time and attendees will read the agenda and have the opportunity to ask questions in advance. This could result in shorter meetings and more productive discussions. This also reduces distractions like table conversations and interruptions. Using tools such as video and audio conferencing software, wireless sharing technology or a conference calling application can help reduce technical issues that can be encountered during online meetings.

However, it’s worth noting that face to meetings with people face to face can be beneficial for certain topics. This is particularly relevant when dealing with more complex issues that require reading body language, tone, and the use of pauses. These are cues that are difficult to recognize in virtual meetings. Also, for more in-depth training or demonstrations, an in-person setting is usually more efficient. Online meetings are typically the best choice for topics which do not require a lot interaction.
