How to Conduct an Online Board Meeting

A board meeting online is an effective way to bring your colleagues together remotely, without the requirement for everyone to travel. It allows you to hold more meetings at times that are suitable for the majority of attendees, thus increasing productivity and engagement. Any changes made to documents during these meetings will be automatically synchronized after internet access is restored. This means that even the time your colleague is offline in the meantime, they will be able to access and read up on the entire information discussed at your last meeting.

In an online meeting the board members will utilize the video conferencing tools in their software for managing boards to see each other and talk face-to-face. This keeps them interested and allows them to gauge nonverbal communication. Additionally, they can mute their microphones when not talking to avoid interrupting one others and observing the rules of online meeting.

Before you host your online board meeting, it’s recommended to conduct an overview of the technology with the people that will be attending in order to ensure everything functions properly. It’s important to make sure that the computer of your board member has a stable sufficient connection, and the quality of their camera is adequate. It is also important to make sure they have enough bandwidth to support the meeting and that they don’t have any distractions (like ringtones or a distracting background).

Another aspect of virtual meetings is that attendees must dress appropriately. It is important to keep an appearance that is professional, particularly because it will be observed by those who are joining in from all over the world. It’s also an ideal idea to avoid sitting on a windowsill, as the glare may hinder the view of the screen, and also be visible on the camera.
