7 Pro Tips for Mastering Your Next (or First!) Virtual Meeting 1. Join a test meeting beforehand to test your speakers, microphone and webcam. 2. Encourage attendees to arrive early to test their own equipment. 3. Avoid hackers by securing your meeting with a password and utilizing the Òwaiting roomÓ to approve who gets in. 4. Remind everyone to set their microphone to mute unless itÕs their turn to speak. 5. To avoid lag, schedule your meetings at ÒoffÓ times, since most meetings are set for top or bottom of the hour. 6. Turn off alerts, especially if youÕre going to be screen-sharing. 7. Encourage use of the chatroom feature for questions or to be recognized as wanting to speak. CALLOUT: Need help?
