With this slide, share the basic ground rules for all virtual meetings held at your company, such as muting mics when the team members are not speaking, having video on or off (depending on your company policy), etc. For your convenience, we adjusted fonts to be larger than our usual font sizes. Considering that your audience will now be viewing these on a desktop or laptop instead of a full-size projector, this should improve the experience.

The success of a virtual meeting can be measured in several ways. One of the most common methods is participant engagement, which can be gauged through the active participation of attendees, their contribution to the discussion, and their understanding of the meeting's objectives. Another way to measure success is by the achievement of the meeting's goals, which should be clearly defined and communicated before the meeting. Additionally, the effectiveness of the meeting's organization, such as adherence to the agenda and time management, can also indicate the meeting's success.

There are several ways to engage team members in a virtual meeting. First, ensure that everyone understands the basic ground rules, such as muting mics when not speaking and having video on or off depending on company policy. Second, send a meeting agenda in advance so everyone can prepare and actively participate. Third, consider using larger fonts for presentations as your audience will be viewing these on a desktop or laptop instead of a full-size projector. Finally, encourage active participation and open communication during the meeting.
