Meeting Resources
RES has several resources to help staff set-up and manage meetings. The resources found in the navigation provide guidance in scheduling rooms, setting up conference calls and help with the technologies RES has to connect remote employees into meetings.
Best Practices
Remote meeting attendance isÌıbecoming commonplace, so plan it into your meetings by setting up Zoom or other remote attendance optionsÌıwhen you schedule the meeting.
Consider the nature of the meeting to determine what technologies will best serve your meeting needs for both those in attendance and those joining remotely.
Know your tools - practice setting up the equipment in advance! Give yourself extra time before the scheduled start of a meeting to set-up and test all for the equipment.
Have a Plan B if one technology fails.
Have designated roles for meeting facilitator, technology support and a chat moderator.
Actively engage everyone - including remote attendees - in the meeting discussion.
Everyone participating in-person or remotely should be mindful of speaking clearly andÌıprojecting without yelling.
When attending remotely,Ìımute your microphones if your location has excessive background noise and earbuds or headphones are preferable to avoid audio feedback and echo.
