Video Conferencing Dos and Don'ts !

1. Be on time

2. Ensure your mic is on to speak and speak clearly.

3. Do not forward your Meeting invitation to someone else. The Meeting link will not work. An attendee must receive their own personal Meeting link.

4. Introduce yourself and ask questions at the appropriate time.

5. Mute your mic when not speaking as paper shuffling and background noise can be quite disconcerting to the host and other attendees.

6. The software allows only 2 people to converse at a time. Therefore if another person wants to ask a question, the software will not allow this to happen if you are still speaking. Even umms and ahhs or background noise will revert the mic to you and stop someone else contributing or asking questions.

7. Don't interrupt or speak over other people.
