Virtual Team Meeting

Many teams meet virtually. Here are some further recommendations for optimizing virtual team meetings:

• Turn on your webcam, if available, and be present on screen;
• Be mindful of surroundings and mute your mic if you are not asking a question or joining the conversation;
• Feel safe to express views and ask questions – commit to ensuring confidentiality;
• Raise your hand or use reactions if you need to jump in and others are speaking or type in the Chat Box;
• Share the “floor” and pause to allow others to join in;
• Use the Chat Box secondarily if possible;
• Be engaged and have fun!
