That\u2019s not all \u2014 brace yourself: 39%<\/strong> of those surveyed have dozed off during virtual meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s time for good news \u2014 this doesn\u2019t have to be the case<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We have a solution to this problem, and we bring it to you in the form of tips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In this blog post, first, we\u2019ll consider why your coworkers are not engaged<\/strong> during your virtual meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, we\u2019ll give you some tips on how to make virtual meetings more interactive and engaging<\/strong>. We\u2019ll even divide our tips into categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, sit back, relax, and master the art of hosting engaging virtual meetings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n Strengthen your business communication and collaboration process with Pumble by CAKE.com.<\/p>\n\n So, you think your virtual meetings are not as engaging as they should be to make your coworkers want to interact with you and other colleagues? <\/p>\n\n\n\n We can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s start from the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, we\u2019ll establish why your meetings are not engaging and tackle the causes of this problem head-on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here we go! <\/p>\n\n\n\n You think you can wing it in your meetings? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Meeting agendas are a thing of the past? <\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019d hate to disappoint you, but, if you want your meetings to be more interactive and engaging, you can\u2019t<\/em> improvise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Unfortunately, fun backgrounds and goofy memes are not enough \u2014 you need a plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don\u2019t have an agenda, you\u2019re risking being the only one talking, without rhyme or reason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a sure-fire way to bore your coworkers and send them to the Land of Nod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Share your meeting agenda with everyone over Pumble<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, \u201cZoom fatigue\u201d<\/a> is real and, if you can, you should avoid excessive video meetings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Stanford researchers, led by communication Professor Jeremy Bailenson, stress that \u201cjust because you <\/em>can<\/strong> use video doesn\u2019t mean you <\/em>have<\/strong> to\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n So, how do you gauge if a meeting is necessary or not? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Before you schedule another meeting, simply ask yourself the following questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the answer to any of these questions is \u201cYes\u201d<\/em>, the meeting is unnecessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Scheduling too many meetings almost inevitably leads to your coworkers getting bored or annoyed with the sheer number of meetings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you overwhelm your colleagues this way, they probably won\u2019t actively listen to you during the meetings. This is where that daydreaming we mentioned earlier comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Could your meeting be a message? Then send a Pumble DM<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n OK, so you have a clear agenda and don\u2019t schedule back-to-back meetings, but your colleagues are still bored at your meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What are you doing wrong? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Maybe the problem is you invited people who don\u2019t necessarily need to attend the meeting in question. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If they are not essential<\/em> for the discussion, you can just let them know there will be a meeting and let them choose whether they want to participate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you checked all the above-mentioned points and you still catch a glimpse of an occasional yawn from your colleagues, maybe the problem is that your meetings aren\u2019t particularly visually engaging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Virtual meetings are more demanding than in-person ones, in terms of preparation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s take presentations as an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you hold a presentation in an in-office meeting, you don\u2019t have to go above and beyond to make your slides rich in details and understandable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n On the other hand, holding a virtual presentation requires a bit more from you in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, you should do your part and go the extra mile if needed to make your presentation more engaging to the attendees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don\u2019t make an effort to make your presentation visually appealing, your colleagues\u2019 eyes may start to wander after a few minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n Strengthen your team. Try Pumble, the all-in-one communication app.<\/p>\n\n Now that we\u2019ve seen why your colleagues might find your virtual meetings boring, it\u2019s time to show you the ways to make them more interactive and engaging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Gone are the days of monotonous meetings in which a boss delivers a speech, and all the attendees make notes in silence. At the end of the meeting, a few minutes would be left for asking questions and that would be it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether virtual or in-office, meetings are now more interactive and engaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or at least they should be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But, what if they\u2019re not? <\/p>\n\n\n\n As usual, we have got your back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ve prepared several tips for you, divided into three categories: <\/p>\n\n\n\n So, let\u2019s make our way through to an amazing virtual meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thorough preparations might be the most important step toward a more engaging virtual meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some tips and tricks that will help you get your colleagues to participate in virtual meetings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to build a shelf, you need two-by-fours, nails, and a hammer. Simply putting pieces of wood onto one another is not enough \u2014 you need tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Similarly, to organize a virtual meeting, you also need tools, albeit of a different kind \u2014 communication tools<\/strong><\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n That is why the first step toward planning an online meeting is choosing communication tools that suit your team\u2019s needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For instance, Pumble<\/a> by CAKE.com<\/a> offers you voice and video conferencing options and allows you to share your screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n Run engaging meetings on Pumble<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n In-office meetings involve sharing a space with the meeting attendees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the other hand, holding virtual meetings doesn\u2019t mean you don\u2019t share a space with your coworkers. The difference is that this shared space is virtual. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Furthermore, shared space in virtual surroundings implies that you might share your screen<\/a>, information<\/a>, files, and links with your coworkers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best thing you can do before a meeting is to prepare all the files and documents you need to share, so you don\u2019t waste any time searching for them when the meeting starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udca1 Pumble Pro Tip<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you struggle with sharing information with your remote team, we have an article that will solve your problems. Check out our blog post on sharing information effectively in a remote setting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don\u2019t want to lose your focus (and your colleagues\u2019 attention) in aimless chatter, make sure you decide beforehand on the virtual meeting objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Plan the agenda and structure the topics within the time you set aside for the meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Furthermore, to avoid passive participation of your colleagues, share the agenda ahead of the meeting <\/p>\n\n\n\n This way, your coworkers will have time to prepare for the meeting and give you their full attention when the time comes.<\/p>\n\n\n Share and store documents and files on Pumble<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the experts we contacted while doing the research for this blog post was James Evans<\/a>, Director and Lead Public Speaking Coach at Vensa Coaching. <\/p>\n\n\n\n He also recognized the problem of passive attendance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cUnfortunately, people sometimes see attendance in a virtual meeting as something quite passive. They may treat the meeting like having the TV\/radio on in the background whilst they deal with their emails. We want to make sure they’re giving the meeting their full attention and constantly participating.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n If you plan your virtual meeting agenda with engagement in mind, you\u2019ll improve the chances your colleagues will interact with you and actively listen to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Always make sure you have an item on your agenda for every attendee. That is the best way to check if everyone you invited needs to be in the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re not sure, check with your coworkers if they\u2019re interested in participating, like in the example from Pumble below. <\/p>\n\n\n In the example above, Derek Smith is preparing for the webinar and checking with Georgina Marley if she\u2019s interested in joining the preparatory virtual meeting for the upcoming webinar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Since she won\u2019t be attending the webinar, she suggests that he invites their colleagues who would love to attend, Joshua and Oliver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This way, Derek makes sure that only the right people join in \u2014 he won\u2019t include Georgina in the preparatory meeting for the webinar, and she won\u2019t be bored or disengaged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n Secure and reliable team communication app for professionals. Try Pumble by CAKE.com.<\/p>\n\n After you invite the right people to your virtual meeting, the next thing you need to do is define the rules of the meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Define how much time each participant is allowed to take up and share the information with your team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This way, you\u2019re preventing anyone from dominating the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aside from that, you\u2019re giving each participant an equal opportunity to voice their opinions, thereby minimizing the possibility they will get bored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No matter how prepared you are, there\u2019s always the possibility that something will go wrong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Maybe your key participant is ill and cannot attend the meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Or, a report you\u2019ve been waiting for hasn\u2019t arrived before the meeting started. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Whatever happens, make sure you\u2019re prepared for the worst-case scenario. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The solution is simple \u2014 have a plan B.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, if your keynote speaker is ill, ask them politely to send you their presentation, so you can deliver their presentation to other attendees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That way, you\u2019ll always land on your feet, whatever unforeseen circumstances come up your way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, we can safely say that you\u2019re well-prepared for your virtual meeting. You did your best to ensure no one is disengaged and bored. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s time to make your virtual meeting memorable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s an easy feat with the tips we bring to you in the following paragraphs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, you did your homework and prepared for the virtual meeting. You\u2019re sure nothing can go wrong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Are you really? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s make double sure your coworkers won\u2019t be yawning during your virtual meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some tips for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The meeting has started. <\/p>\n\n\n\n No matter how long you and your colleagues have known one another, there\u2019s always that awkwardness at the beginning of a virtual meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So, what can you do to make the tension go away?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Start by checking in with your coworkers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although you\u2019re not physically in the same space, make them feel present. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dedicate some time to chewing the fat. Ask your colleagues about their day up to that point and connect with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Small talk is sometimes underrated \u2014 its impact is much greater than you think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Namely, according to a study by Rutgers and the University of Exeter Business School, chit-chat at work has an uplifting effect on employees<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Small talk is especially important in a remote setting, where casual bonding by the water cooler is not possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udca1 Pumble Pro Tip<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that you know exchanging pleasantries has its benefits at the workplace, maybe you need help deciding on the right amount of casual communication at work. If that\u2019s the case, read our article on balancing work communication and chit-chat: <\/p>\n\n\n\n If small talk doesn\u2019t come naturally to you, we might just have a solution for your problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Why not take a more structured approach to chit-chat? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, we\u2019re talking about icebreakers and games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Set aside some time at the beginning of the meeting for tuning in and having fun with some games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Some ice-breaker questions you could ask are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n These kinds of questions help your colleagues loosen up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n They also set the tone for the meeting and make the overall experience more fun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead of yawns, there\u2019ll probably be a few laughs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udca1 Pumble Pro Tip<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If team bonding is your thing, but you lack ideas for virtual activities, read our article on virtual team bonding activities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Think of the meeting as a symphony your orchestra (your colleagues) is performing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As the conductor, you must keep everything under control, direct the musicians, and make sure they follow the right tempo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Similarly, as a meeting leader, you need to keep to the meeting agenda. At the end of the day, that\u2019s why you planned it \u2014 to give your meetings some structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We reached out to Rebecca Churchill<\/a>, Small Business Legislative Advocate at National Small Business Association, who shared her opinion with us:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThose who lead the meeting need to keep to an agenda and make sure it is bringing value and having decisions made and actionables assigned. Virtual environments require managers to do a lot more work \u2014 in terms of engagement and one-on-one connecting.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n So, take the baton in your hands, and conduct your orchestra toward the goal, by following your agenda. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n A communication app for teams of all kinds. Discuss, share, and collaborate.<\/p>\n\n This is a somewhat overlooked step toward a more interactive and engaging virtual meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Since you\u2019re not alone in a meeting, you don\u2019t have to do everything by yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Namely, you can delegate tasks and assign roles to your coworkers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ideally, every meeting should have: <\/p>\n\n\n\n When all the meeting attendees are somehow involved in the process, they are more motivated to make a contribution and ensure that the meeting is successful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The eye of the camera sees everything, and microphones are getting ever more sensitive to every little noise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to tidy up your workspace and avoid snacking or chewing gum while in the meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s common courtesy to mute your microphone if you\u2019re not speaking so that you don\u2019t distract your teammates with the noises coming from your surroundings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The fact that you\u2019re not in the same physical space as your coworkers doesn\u2019t mean you should forget about the meeting etiquette or body language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s why Erica Dhawan, the author of Digital Body Language<\/em><\/a>, gave us 5 principles of digital communication that we should be aware of: <\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udca1 Pumble Pro Tip<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Your colleagues come from different generations, and you\u2019re not sure how to communicate with them? Check out our article on improving communication across generations at work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best way to introduce some fun into your virtual meeting is to add some gamification elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Surprise your coworkers and incorporate short fun activities now and then. <\/p>\n\n\n\n According to research<\/a>, gamification can enhance your coworkers\u2019 virtual meeting experience and provide you with long-term engagement<\/a> from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ve contacted Megan Bendtzen<\/a>, Consultant, Speaker, and Fun Specialist at TheDoctorofFun.com. <\/p>\n\n\n\n She strongly agrees with the gamification method:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIncorporate games! Gamification increases engagement! Turn your talking points into questions, insert fun trivia or turn attendees into contestants and run the meeting game-show style.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s no better way to engage your audience than to enable them to participate in a fun activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you think visual elements are overrated? <\/p>\n\n\n\n What if I told you that visuals increase engagement by as much as 94%<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Techsmith\u2019s research, more than 64% of Millennials understand information faster when it\u2019s communicated visually. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And, if we remember that the number of Millennials now exceeds the number of Boomers<\/a> in the workforce, this information becomes even more relevant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So, when hosting a virtual meeting, always add interactive and engaging visual elements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t refrain from incorporating a video into your virtual meeting to keep your coworkers engaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another useful trick is to use live polls during your virtual meetings because they\u2019re a fun way to gauge people\u2019s reactions and thoughts on any matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n Strengthen your team. Try Pumble, the all-in-one communication app.<\/p>\n\n Why not take it up a notch and come up with a theme for the virtual meeting? <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can start with something simple, such as wearing the company logo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you feel especially creative, you can host a virtual meeting with a fun \u201cSci-Fi vibe\u201d or \u201cWear your favorite band T-shirt\u201d theme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A little goes a long way. Why not try it? <\/p>\n\n\n Explore Pumble’s Video Conferencing features<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n In the example above, we see an announcement that Katie Stark, a team manager, makes to her team for an upcoming virtual meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Surely, they won\u2019t hawaii<\/em> any trouble with breaking the ice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s the sweet spot when it comes to the duration of virtual meetings? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Some research suggests that 83% of office employees<\/a> cannot stay focused in meetings for over 45 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So, your meetings should be short<\/strong> and to the point<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you follow our advice on what to do before a virtual meeting, you shouldn\u2019t have any trouble keeping your meetings shorter than 45 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This way, the attendees can stay fully focused and engaged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that we have prepared you for virtual meetings, it\u2019s time to give you some tips on what to do after the meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So, you\u2019ve finished your virtual meeting. Your coworkers were interested in what was being said, and they even participated in the discussion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Your work here is done, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Wrong! <\/p>\n\n\n\n To keep your colleagues engaged and inspired, you need to do your part after a virtual meeting as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s why we bring you a few more tips to help you wrap up the virtual meeting experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t be afraid to overcommunicate<\/a> to increase the effectiveness of the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As soon as your virtual meeting ends, make sure you send your coworkers the meeting notes, reminding them of the main points you discussed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Check with your colleagues whether the plan you discussed is clear and answer any follow-up questions they might have forgotten to ask during the meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also record and transcribe virtual meetings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, you can send the recording or transcript to your colleagues who couldn\u2019t attend the meeting, to keep everyone in the loop. <\/p>\n\n\n Keep everyone in the loop with Pumble<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n In the example above, Rose Waters, VP of Sales, reminds those who were in the meeting and informs those who weren\u2019t of the main points discussed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n After you delegate tasks to your coworkers, don\u2019t forget to follow up \u2014 check if everyone\u2019s doing their part. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Be persistent because no matter how talented and hard-working your coworkers are, sometimes, they don\u2019t follow through for various reasons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Maybe they\u2019re overwhelmed with other tasks, so they simply forget to do what they agreed to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So, if you want a task to be done, make sure you regularly check in with your coworkers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But beware \u2014 you don\u2019t want your check-ins to turn into micromanaging<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Still, follow-ups are a necessary part of heading a project, as we can see in the example below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the virtual meeting, manager Katie tasked Rose with writing a report on a new client. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, she is checking in with Rose to see if she has any trouble with the report. <\/p>\n\n\n Simplify team communication and collaborate more effectively. Try Pumble.<\/p>\n\n Virtual meetings should not be associated with yawning and counting seconds to the end of the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The key to making virtual meetings more interactive and engaging is in your hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you follow our tips, then all you really need is a good tool to put them into practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With Pumble, a team communication and collaboration app<\/a>, you\u2019ll be able to conduct interactive meetings that will keep your team members engaged. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to features like video conferencing<\/a>, screen sharing<\/a>, file sharing, and hand raising<\/a> \u2014 to name a few \u2014 Pumble will help you become the best meeting organizer you can be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make the most out of your meetings \u2014 with Pumble by CAKE.com!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
