Run Better Virtual Meetings

Virtual meetings are different from in-person ones. The same approaches don't always work.

The Problem

Virtual meetings often suffer from:

  • Engagement drops
  • Technical issues
  • Talking over each other
  • Quiet participants going unnoticed
  • Zoom fatigue

How AI Helps

AI suggests techniques specifically designed for virtual contexts — keeping remote attendees engaged and productive.

When to Use This

  • Remote team meetings
  • Hybrid sessions
  • Client video calls
  • Virtual presentations
  • Cross-time-zone meetings

Tips for Best Results

  1. Start with a check-in - Break the screen barrier
  2. Use chat actively - Another channel for participation
  3. Call on people by name - Ensure everyone's heard
  4. Build in breaks - Screen time is exhausting
