It's More Than the Technology

Sure, there are many more things that can go sideways on a video-conference call than usually arise during an in-person meeting. For one thing, every participant is connecting from a different device - their smart phone, their tablet, or their computer. Just getting everyone online and able to see others, listen and speak are big tech hurdles. And there can be many more having to do with:

• The size and location of your virtual group
• Individual team member not having the same access or comfort with technology
• Your own comfort with chairing the process and stick-handling the tech.

Beyond the technology, there are many pitfalls that you can pro-actively anticipate so you can run better virtual meetings. You can develop a plan or have a strategy in your back pocket so you're ready to respond quickly when they arise. For example:

• Not getting going on time
• Not enough time to engage people

• Participants disengaged, bored or fading
• Technology issues dominating
