Hope you had a good day peeps. :)

Why don't overlords ever have an online meeting?

[bopinion]

Better think twice ...

... if someone else mutes you in an online meeting.

... before you insist on being right.

... if you usually get sentimental when drunk - or honest.

... if you have already made the same New Year's resolutions before.

... before you click on "Accept all terms and conditions".

... when the doorbell rings and you're not expecting anyone.

... before you are really looking forward to something that is not under your control.

... when your partner asks you "Do you know what day it is today?"

... before you tell a polarizing joke.

... which fight is really worth it.

online zoom meeting days are LONG. whoever made the choice of giving us one half-hour break and one hour break instead of just letting us leave an hour and a half earlier is my main op. I'm going to light up that feedback google form when this mess is over & I'm going to give my name

Another day ends and a section of my company which provided us with terrible poems and mediocre music once a week at 9:30 to a largely curious audience who soon after realised they had to go outside to work or boil their hand in the steam from a kettle rather than listen to the self congratulatory metaphorical blowjobs they all gave each other for half an hour, on demand, has ceased to exist as…

Helping Everyone Thrive in Online Meetings 

Social distancing means that most of our communication is now done via online meetings using tools such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams. Whether work meetings, family face time, or online training, many people spend a significant amount of their day in front of a screen. 

With increased screen time comes difficulty in staying engaged and focused. Online meetings can be stressful, especially for introverts, and the standard rules of meeting etiquette are sometimes ignored when participants are out of their usual work environment. 

It can seem daunting for those chairing online meetings to ensure that everyone can thrive and contribute. Here are some tips to make your online meetings more effective. 

1. Make sure you have an agenda 

Online meetings often seem less formal than face-to-face, but it’s a mistake to do away with sending participants a formal agenda ahead of the session. A formal agenda allows everyone to think about the areas to be covered and do any background work. Preparation is particularly helpful for introverts who can struggle when put on the spot in social settings.   

An agenda also provides a timeframe that allows participants to plan their workspace and gives the Chairperson a simple reference point to keep discussions focused and ensure that overall objectives are met, and action points agreed as necessary. 

2. Give everyone an equal chance to contribute 

There is a risk that some participants will overwhelm others and dominate the meeting due to the lack of controlling effects of body language or simply because they tend to be more outspoken. 

Asking everyone to mute microphones and only unmute when talking helps people to stop talking over each other. Turning on videos makes it simpler to observe everyone’s engagement level and go around everyone seeking their opinions. If necessary, in the case of disruptive participants, the Chairperson can mute individuals themselves. 

3. Use the multiple communication tools available 

Keep the “chat” option open so that participants can comment or pose a question without disturbing the communication flow. It isn’t easy to manage an online video conversation alongside the chat, so it’s good to have a moderator who can read and respond while the meeting discussion progresses. 

Use “share screen” options to display a previously circulated document for discussion or highlight specific text. Some systems allow interactive engagement with participants via whiteboards. 

In many systems such as Zoom and MS Teams, participants can raise a virtual hand to indicate that they want to contribute without interrupting the conversation. 

4. Chairperson Leadership 

How the Chairperson handles communication determines if participants will contribute to the meeting. People should feel safe expressing themselves and feel that their contributions are valued. 

It’s important that people are not cut off when speaking. It can be hard to allocate time in virtual meetings as issues such as poor connections and participant’s unfamiliarity with the system can impact duration. If someone is taking too much time, the Chair can interrupt at a natural break and say something like, “Thank you for those points, let’s move on to the next person for comment.” 

In summary, for everyone to thrive in an online meeting, it needs good planning, comfort with the tools, respect amongst participants, and good communication skills.

Even as far back as 2020, during the height of the pandemic, research was being conducted on the effectiveness of video conferencing in education, and some such research concluded that online meetings would remain popular long-after the pandemic was over.

I can spend all day looking at a screen and be fine, but put me in a call for a few hours and it's headache town. Make it make sense.

Being a “Fun Fact !” kind of autistic is all fun and games until you get halfway through sharing an interesting tidbit and realize that it probably wasn’t appropriate to share in polite company and now you have to deal with the consequences :(
