This is why I keep my camera on, so that whoever is talking sees me nodding away whilst they talk and when they go "any questions" you can pause and say "None from me". It's also why you always unmute yourself when someone joins the call - yes, we can hear you, yes your mic is fine, no you're not muted, it's just no one is replying becuase they're all muted and causedoing something else because we haven't started yet.
It feels like people really haven't put any thought into how to handle video conferences.
- noxToken 6y agoI assume it's because people are awaiting their return to physical work environments. If your employer or team hasn't done anything to facilitate working remotely other than moving meetings to Zoom/WebEx/Meet, then you're right: people haven't put thought into video conferences. There are numerous articles on why this impromptu remote environment isn't the same as traditional remote environments. Are people turning on their camera during meetings? Are people actually responding when talked to during meetings? Is there some type of plan outlined for team members who have kids in virtual school or are unexpected caretakers? Have teams been given the proper collaborative tools to work together remotely? Are working hours being respected? There are lots of things people didn't think about when places went remote. The problem is that they never went back to address them either.
