This means, of course, that you could probably do with a few tips for making the most of this arrangement&#8230;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Laptop or smartphone: pros and cons&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many experts advise taking part in <strong>online meetings<\/strong> on your laptop rather than your smartphone. They argue that you must be able to take notes during the call and might have to search for items or share your screen.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While these arguments may be valid, we would like to point out a significant disadvantage. Employees who video-call with their laptops are often <strong>distracted<\/strong> by incoming emails and chat messages, resulting in reduced concentration and a much less efficient meeting. A trick for sustaining the focus is to expand your online meeting to fill the <strong>whole screen <\/strong>and to turn off notifications so that you are not distracted or tempted to open other tabs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Professional clothing for online meetings&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a huge temptation to attend your online meetings in your jogging bottoms, with your feet tucked into cosy slippers. Nobody will see, right? However, <strong>professional clothing<\/strong> is vital, even for online meetings via Teams or Zoom. Dress as if you are in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternativ.be\/en\/setting-up-your-conference-room-3-focus-areas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a physical meeting room<\/a> because even though your pyjamas might not be visible on the screen, they will determine how you feel, speak and respond. One in three participants in online meetings occasionally drift off or suddenly feel a bit<strong> sleepy<\/strong> <sup>1<\/sup> so you certainly don&#8217;t need clothing that makes you feel like you can relax.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-online-meetings-better-in-the-morning\">Online meetings? Better in the morning!&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, a study by hotel chain Hilton showed that employee <strong>productivity<\/strong> usually takes a dive at around 2 p.m.<sup>2<\/sup> So, important online meetings should be planned in the <strong>morning<\/strong>, when everyone is fresher and more lively. Good luck!&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many people no longer make their way to the office to attend a meeting because online meetings have now become the norm.
