Online meetings allow you to participate in a client meeting regardless of whether at home, in a café or on the road. This is a huge benefit for those who have chosen to work remotely and allows for more inclusivity in the workplace. This also means that those who might not be able to travel due to health or financial limitations can still participate in meetings.

Virtual meetings offer the benefit of starting and stopping on time. The agenda is often circulated ahead of time attendees will be able to read the material and have the possibility to ask questions ahead of time. This can lead to shorter meetings and more productive discussions. It also helps reduce distractions like table conversations and interruptions. Utilizing tools such as audio and video conferencing software, wireless sharing technology or a conference calling app can help you reduce technical issues that may be encountered during online meetings.

However, it’s worth noting that face to meetings in person can be beneficial for some topics. This is particularly applicable to more nuanced topics which require the comprehension of body tone, language and pauses – cues which are difficult to recognize in virtual meetings. In-person training and demonstrations are typically more effective. Online meetings are typically the best option for topics that do not require much interaction.
