Zoom & Teams Best Practices: Make Online Meetings Less Painful (TPS375)


Listen Later

Even if many of us are back in the office, at least part-time (or never left), it is inevitable that so much of our day is spent in online meetings. We fire up our computer, connect to Zoom or Teams, sometimes for back-to-back calls!

There are some things you can do to make your Zoom or Teams experience better, and some best practices to make the most effective use of your time. Anything we can do to make OUR experience better, and the experience of the people we are in meetings with better, will pay off.

In this episode, we are going to share 3 Zoom and Teams best practices to have the most of your Time, Energy, and Attention.
