Online Meeting Etiquette

  • Signal to others you are in a meeting - If you share space with others, let them know you are getting on a meeting.

  • Prevent your distractions - Turn off all chat applications and notifications. Silence your phone. Close out any tabs that aren’t essential to the meeting.

  • Log in early - Don’t wait until the last minute to log in. You will start off distracted, and you may forget to log in on time. Logging in five minutes ahead of time is good online meeting etiquette for attendees. This also gives you a chance to check if your setup is working or not.

  • Start with video on - If you are uncomfortable sharing your background, apply a filter or a blur.

  • Muting - Mute yourself when not speaking if:

    It is a large call of ten or more people

    You hear a feedback echo

    You have noise in your background

  • Don’t talk over people - In a virtual meeting, it’s hard to know exactly who spoke first. Be ready to let the other person speak ahead of you.
