One of the biggest problems when planning an online meeting is scheduling. Globally distributed teams can sometimes struggle to coordinate schedules and keep to a tight timetable. Fortunately, there are a number of methods that can make scheduling easy, no matter how big or small your team is. Here are some tips to make your meeting run as smoothly as possible:
Tasking meetings helps to ensure that the meeting doesn’t overrun
Setting aside time for meetings can consume large amounts of a person’s working day, so it’s important to get the most out of these meetings. Unfortunately, many meetings overrun their allotted time, disrupting work and the lives of those who participate. To avoid overrunning meetings, follow these tips. Tasking your online meetings will ensure that the meeting remains on time and that participants contribute within the time allotted for the meeting.

Before beginning an online meeting, decide on a general agenda. Then, determine which topics will be covered. It’s often difficult to discuss too many topics during one meeting, but knowing the purpose of the meeting will help make it productive and ensure that the time allotted isn’t wasted. It’s also important to set a time limit for the meeting, which can make it run long.
Using live polls to punctuate the meeting
Live polls are a great way to engage your audience and break up content delivery into digestible chunks. They also serve as a valuable data point for discussion and evaluation later on. They engage your audience and motivate them to pay attention. Live polls are available for different types of meetings and presentations. Use them to generate ideas and make your presentation more dynamic and memorable. Listed below are some tips for using live polls in your next meeting.
Polling is an effective way to gauge participant interest in a presentation. A live poll is easy to set up and allows the audience to see the results in real time. A webinar host can use live polls to enhance a presentation, and make audience feedback a vital part of the meeting. However, live polls should be presented in terms of the participants’ self-interests, not those of the presenter. Otherwise, attendees may feel like experiment subjects.
Avoid jumping off topic
A key factor in conducting a successful online meeting is avoiding the common mistake of jumping off topic. When people start a new topic without listening, they end up repeating themselves and the conversation becomes less productive. To avoid this, you should always repeat your initial point before moving on to a new topic. Using the principle of consent and bringing different perspectives to the table can prevent this from happening. To avoid this common mistake, follow these tips.
