Title: What is your virtual meeting persona?
1What is your virtual meeting persona?
2Introduction
Throughout the pandemic, most of us have switched
from face-to-face meetings to video conferencing
and virtual meetings. And as we transition to the
post-pandemic world, it is predicted that almost
70 of meetings will continue to remain online.
This means that, almost everyone has had some
sort of exposure to web conference software and
screen sharing apps like Zoom, Teams or Google
Meet. The funny thing is that, although the apps
might be different, the virtual meeting
experience is almost identical. Every meeting
blurs into the next, every day blurs into the
next you might even feel like the main character
from the movie Groundhog Day.
3Do You Multitask During Your Online Meetings?

- Famous Multitasker quote Im sorry, I missed
that last part. Do you mind repeating it?
4Multitasking
- This type of person is very productivity during
remote meetings, not listening to you! They keep
the screen sharing app open but their camera is
off as they work on other things. Their slogan
is Get the work done. They might be working on
business and personal duties, switching from
checking emails to creating a shopping list and
searching for products. As the multitasker is not
paying attention, you usually call out their name
a few times to get them to respond or unmute
themselves! We have all been there. -
- According to Wired article multitasking can be a
coping mechanism to zoom fatigue and there are
ways you can combat this. Our own survey
indicates that almost 43 of meeting attendees
are multitasking. How do you stop the multitasker
and get them to focus?
5Multitaskers dont want to waste time
- Most PowerPoint slides can be a huge waste of
time. When PowerPoint was invented, its purpose
was to be a visual aid to the presenter. These
days when we present a full screen slide and talk
non-stop, we quickly lose our audiences
attention and make it hard for them to focus.
Most people can scan the slide and process
information faster than you can read it out loud!
If you are just repeating the information on the
slide, you will quickly lose the multitasker.
6- So go back to using the slide as a visual aid.
Dont fill it with your entire talk track and
just repeat the lines. Next, realize that people
connect with other people, and we resonate with
conversations and not the presentation. Reactiv
SUITE allow you to pin your camera and make
yourself as large as your content, so your
multitasking audience connects with you. It lets
them feel like they are having a real
conversation with a person versus passively
listening to your presentation.
7Are You the Gamer?
- Are you one of the remote meeting gamers? Come
one, admit it. These days, we are all trying to
not fall asleep during virtual meetings, but some
of us are brushing up on our video game skills
and are trying to get to the next level just to
keep ourselves occupied. - According to this article on Vox , games like
animal crossing have exploded in use during
virtual meetings. Almost everyone of us suffers
from some level of ADHD these days and games can
help us to focus and occupy our brains when the
meeting gets boring.
8Famous Gamer quote Hold on for a second.
- To connect with these individuals, you must make
your presentation dynamic and interactive.
Realize that humans are visual learners, and our
brains need visual stimulus. Staring endlessly at
static slides is not going to cut it. Reactiv
SUITE allows you to create a dynamic presentation
that is not only interactive but engaging to your
audience even the participants with the
attention span of a four year old! - Reactiv SUITE allows you to create an online
whiteboard where you can write down their
questions and thoughts. Ask a question and write
down their responses to show them that their
comments are important. More democratic meetings
where everyones voice is heard will make your
meetings more powerful and meaningful.
