Online meetings can be held anyplace there is an internet connection. They provide greater flexibility, cost savings and accessibility. They are a great choice for regular or short interactions between small work groups. They are also more convenient than physical meetings since they don’t require travel. Meetings online have a lot of advantages, but they also have some dangers. Before incorporating them into your business, be aware of these drawbacks.

Online meetings can save time. Since there is no need to reserve a space and worry whether it will be big enough for everyone to comfortably fit in it is easy to dial in at the designated time and get straight to work. Additionally, the time that would’ve been spent on preparing for the meeting or commuting to it can be used to do productive work. This leads to fewer wasted minutes during the meeting, and also helps the meeting to be shorter.

Meetings online are more punctual. This is because participants are more likely to attend a meeting from the location they’re in (be it their home, office or coffee shop) and can stay clear of the stress of preparing for a meeting, running late, and dealing with the stress of driving or getting to work. There’s also less chance of getting involved in an accident or spreading germs while trying to make it to a meeting.
