In an April 29, 2020 CPA Canada article, the author provided a variety of tips for professional meetings conducted by online video conference, which has become much more common during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Among the tips discussed, the author recommended the following:

• having a meeting host to own the meeting, set the agenda, and drive the meeting;
• setting protocols such as the use of mute features (whether by participants or the host) or chat functions;
• using the waiting room to avoid one client dropping in while another meeting is in progress;
• framing the view to control what participants see in the background; and
• sharing screens to more efficiently share information.
