Using Meeting Technologies

Waris Adi Darmawan

In this modern era, many companies are using technology to replace face-to-
face meetings. This is because virtual meetings can reduce costs, use up
resources, and provide wider access. Instant messaging and teleconferencing
are simple forms of virtual meetings. Video conferencing allows participants
to see and hear each other, discuss collaborations, present products, and
transmit other visual information.

Teleconferencing allows realistic conferences where participants thousands


of miles apart appear to be in the same room. This virtual communication
system is commonly used for spontaneous discussions between small
groups and planned formal groups such as press conferences and webinars.
One of the newest virtual tools is online brainstorming, where companies
carry out idea campaigns to generate new ideas from all members of the
organization.
Successful virtual meetings require extra planning in advance. The leader
must ensure that all members are involved and have the opportunity to
contribute. Participants also have a responsibility to pay attention.To stay
focused, make sure meeting time is dedicated to discussion and
interaction.Share background information before the meeting so attendees
can join in on the meeting you've prepared.
