Unlike the office, the work environment from home has many variables. Sudden connection problems, background noise, and unfavorable impressions on the screen are factors that reduce the degree of immersion in the meeting. On the other hand, even with small preparations and details, online meetings proceed much more smoothly. Smooth communication has a positive effect on not only the individual's work performance but also the collaboration of the entire team.
1. thorough preparation before the meeting
Video conferencing is half prepared. The presentation materials should be organized in advance, and if you need to share the screen, you should open the file in advance. Unnecessary delays can be reduced by checking the camera, microphone, and Internet connection in advance. A few minutes of confirmation before the meeting begins is fundamental to increasing confidence and professionalism.
2. Optimized camera and microphone settings
The first impression at the meeting is determined by the camera and sound quality. It is recommended that the camera be positioned so that the face is visible in front of the camera and use natural light or lighting to create a bright and neat screen. Ideally, the microphone uses earphones or headsets that can minimize ambient noise. The difference in small equipment settings greatly influences the other's concentration and reliability.
3. concise and clear communication
Unlike face-to-face meetings, unnecessary lengthy explanations increase fatigue in video conferences. It is better to convey the core concisely by presenting the conclusions first and adding evidence. You need to keep silent while you wait for your turn to speak, and you need the habit of speaking clearly in your turn. Clear communication shortens meeting time and increases performance.
4. active nonverbal expression
Small facial expressions and gestures can be seen large on the screen. Nonverbal expressions such as nods, smiles, and hand gestures signal that you are focused on the other person. If you talk while looking at the camera, it gives the effect of making eye contact, increasing the degree of immersion in communication. If you show an active attitude even beyond the screen, the atmosphere of the meeting changes to a much more positive one.
5. Quick feedback and organization after the meeting
The meeting does not end as soon as you press the end button. The main discussions and action plans should be briefly summarized and shared by messenger or e-mail. Quick feedback reduces confusion and doubles the effectiveness of meetings. Post-cleaning is particularly important in telecommuting, which increases reliability and collaboration satisfaction among colleagues.
Video conferencing is not just a tool for face-to-face conversation, but an important communication method that determines work efficiency. If it leads to preparation and equipment setting, clear speech, active nonverbal expression, quick organization and feedback, it can achieve sufficient results even in an online environment. It should be remembered that small differences in habits change the outcome of meetings and the atmosphere of collaboration.
In the era of telecommuting, video conferencing is also a window to show not only individual capabilities but also the quality of organizational culture. Therefore, if basic know-how is consistently practiced, the meeting will no longer be a waste of time, but an opportunity for achievement. From today, let's make a more efficient meeting by checking the attitude and preparation process in front of the screen.
