I know this may not apply to most of you, but I want to talk about an internet slang word, which is ‘ boomer tech’. Anything that people are going to go, “Oh, wow, you’ve invested some money”, is going to make you look good. I’m always quite impressed when I see someone’s got that. Showing off is like, “Hey, look at this everyone, look at what I’ve got”.įor example, if you have a boom stand and a microphone, you can show these off in the shot. So, there are displays of status you could show off while on the call. It’s clear that working from home may go on and on and on.
For example, you can refer to your camera gear. If you’re into your tech, and you’re proud of it, then you might call it your gear. Let’s talk about your setup, which is the equipment that you’re using.Īnother word for that is your gear. This is also how we avoid embarrassing moments like featuring pyjamas in the shot, or tracksuit bottoms, when you need to get up for something. As soon as the call is done, you can take it off. I’m suggesting, for the call you make the effort you put your suit on. I’m not saying that you need to wear a suit all day in your house. So, if you would usually wear a suit jacket when meeting in person, that’s what you should wear for your Zoom call. The dress code for your Zoom call should be the same as the dress code you would follow if you were going to go to that meeting in person. So, this lesson contains a good mix of experiences on what should be the social etiquette (French word for social norms and values) when attending video meetings.Īfter this lesson, you will avoid reflecting badly on yourself and your job, by keeping these Zoom rules and video call etiquette in mind. I speak to students and professionals from many different countries, and I got their opinions on this as well. It’s likely you’ve seen examples of poor manners on Zoom. You must present a professional image during video calls in 2021. We have now reached a point where there are no more excuses for bad practices and manners. After a year of lockdowns, we’ve all had a lot of experience on Zoom.
Video meetings have become a common feature of working life since the Coronavirus pandemic. Follow these rules of politeness to make a professional impression in Zoom meetings. In this lesson, we’re going to talk about manners and the rules for being polite on a Zoom call.
