How to Run an Effective Meeting with a Video Conferencing System

It’s a common scenario: you have a 2 p.m. meeting with your team, but your phone call with a client goes longer than expected. As soon as you hang up the phone, you rush into the conference room where colleagues and are already seated. By the time everyone is present, it’s 2:05, then you spend 15 minutes trying to set up the video chat, but you can’t seem to get it to work. Meanwhile your remote team members are waiting, and precious time is being wasted. By the time you have everyone ready and on the line its 2:30, and now the entire day’s schedule is behind.
