online meetings and conferences are the new way of doing business \u2013 so new that we still haven\u2019t settled on protocols and etiquette.<\/p>\n

it\u2019s time we did.<\/p>\n

we already have standards for in-person conferences. they\u2019re so standard that we\u2019ve never bothered to write them down. it goes without saying that we don\u2019t go to meetings in our ratty bathrobes. we don\u2019t bring our pets. we don\u2019t have a significant other asking if we\u2019re done yet.<\/p>\n

we\u2019ve been meeting via computer for only a couple of months, but certain protocols \u2013 certain do\u2019s and don\u2019ts \u2013 are already developing, based on research by 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间.<\/p>\n

you may have already noticed a few of the no-nos.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

don\u2019t:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. try to figure out the technology during the meeting.<\/li>\n
  2. have the camera (typically the one in your lap) looking up at you unless you really intend to share the contents of your nostrils.<\/li>\n
  3. pretend that you wear a suit and tie at home.<\/li>\n
  4. look too casual.<\/li>\n
  5. let anybody suspect you just got out of bed.<\/li>\n
  6. eat or drink anything unless it\u2019s from a mug.<\/li>\n
  7. explain why you have to step off-camera.<\/li>\n
  8. throw your cat.<\/li>\n
  9. tell your dog to shut up.<\/li>\n
  10. multitask or type except for purposes of the meeting.<\/li>\n
  11. smoke, groom, yawn, chew, doodle, sniff, spit, cough, squirm, scratch, fidget or fiddle.<\/li>\n
  12. let anything flush, not even behind closed doors on the far side of the house, especially if you\u2019re off-camera.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    do:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. test the conferencing system well before the meeting.<\/li>\n
    2. sign in early.<\/li>\n
    3. know how to adjust your mic.<\/li>\n
    4. use headphones to avoid people hearing themselves from your speakers.<\/li>\n
    5. have all meeting materials ready and at hand.<\/li>\n
    6. position the camera at your eye level.<\/li>\n
    7. know beforehand how to put images on the screen.<\/li>\n
    8. turn off the television, vacuum cleaner, dishwasher, radio, air conditioner, music of any kind.<\/li>\n
    9. turn off any app that will make a noise during the meeting.<\/li>\n
    10. turn off alexa, siri, and your phone.<\/li>\n
    11. mute yourself until you speak.<\/li>\n
    12. be ready to mute your mic in an instant.<\/li>\n
    13. look into the camera when you speak, not at yourself on the screen.<\/li>\n
    14. comb your hair before<\/strong> the meeting.<\/li>\n
    15. sit up straight and keep your elbows off the table.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      assess your background, lighting and props.<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. a bookshelf is nice but check all visible titles.<\/li>\n
      2. a window behind you will make your face look dark.<\/li>\n
      3. a well-lit face looks more \u201cpresent\u201d than one poorly lit. side lighting works well if not too harsh. ditto for the light behind the camera.<\/li>\n
      4. avoid lighting that makes your eyeglasses flash.<\/li>\n
      5. lock up the pets. if one appears, don\u2019t introduce it.<\/li>\n
      6. lock up the whole family with the pets. remind them about what they\u2019re not going to flush.<\/li>\n
      7. if appropriate and natural, have a neat stack of folders in sight.<\/li>\n
      8. one coffee mug, good. two coffee mugs, bad.<\/li>\n
      9. think about what\u2019s in the picture. no laundry, dishes, dead plants, weapons, booze, bongs, bizarre lamps, halloween decorations, kiss posters, swastikas, humping labradors, stuffed hunting trophies, skulls, or any other signs of your warm and fuzzy side.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
