I handle a staff of 15 that holds a Zoom assembly as soon as per week. Whereas they work independently more often than not, there are main tasks the place everybody needs to be on the identical web page, and we get updates throughout these conferences.
I’ve observed that the individuals who flip their video off (and I do know they’re arrange for video as a result of it’ll be on at the beginning of the assembly) usually find yourself reaching out to me to ask questions that we lined within the assembly. Generally they attain out hours later, typically a number of days later. I’m beginning to assume that those with the video off are leaving the world, muting the staff, or simply completely zoned out. Can I require them to maintain the video on? Do you assume it could assist?

Different questions I’m answering there as we speak embrace:
