We are video conferencing day-in day-out now. Small conversations via
video call are a regular part of remote work. In times of restricted
travel and polluted air, this is excellent. It also works pretty well
for two or three people. With 6, it gets difficult to manage who
speaks. Above ten, things get tricky both from a technical as well as
a social perspective.
We have all been in this call
where there was an echo that blew everybodies ear’s off, except for
that one person that did not hear it (it was him). I have collected a
few technical tips and practises over time that may help make video
conferences easier and more enjoyable.
