“Communication works for those who work at it.” \u2014 John Powell<\/i><\/p>\n

What is worst than call meetings ? Bad quality call meetings !
Here are 5 tips to make your meetings better

1. Make sure your internet connection is OK
2. Check your sound quality
3. Add video
4. Value of the meeting ? 
5. Ask \/ Provide feedbacks <\/i><\/p>\n

1. Make sure your internet connection is OK<\/span><\/h1>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Speedtest.net <\/h2>\n

https:\/\/www.speedtest.net\/<\/a>
\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ping<\/h2>\n
\n

Check latency in terminal : ping slapps.fr<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Teams – monitoring

<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\"\"
In a call – More > Settings > Call Health
Do you lose any packets ?

\"\"
<\/h6>\n
In a call – More > Settings > Device Settings 
What is your mic picking up ? <\/h6>\n
\"\" <\/h6>\n

2. Check sound quality<\/h1>\n

Teams – Test call<\/h2>\n
Settings > Devices > Make a test call <\/div>\n
You will be able to hear how you come through <\/div>\n
\"\"
<\/div>\n
\n

Teams – Noise reduction<\/h2>\n

Settings > Devides > Noise suppresion – Set to High
<\/p>\n

\"\"
<\/p>\n

Hardware quality <\/h3>\n

Bose Quiet confort vs Apple Airpod Pro 2
<\/p>\n

3. Video<\/h1>\n

Put your video ON <\/h2>\n
While I am an introvert, I believe putting the video on is a sign of both commitment and respect (you are not doing something else in the background \/ You have full focus on the meeting) 
Often, non verbal communication is more valuable than verbal communication <\/div>\n

Background – Blur or Wallpaper<\/h2>\n
I like putting that same wallpaper for consistency – so that people don’t lose focus wondering where I could be from my real background (I am a digital nomad)<\/div>\n

4. Value of the meeting <\/h1>\n

Did you add value to it ? <\/h2>\n
While listening is the most important thing, if you are part of a meeting, you have to contribute and add value to it. If not, you should be using that time better and just ask for a summary<\/div>\n

Was it needed at all ? <\/h2>\n
Most times, meetings are not needed and are a waste of time and money – X (number of people) x Y (duration of the meeting) x W (average $\/h\/person) = TOO MUCH.  <\/div>\n


<\/p>\n

5. Feedbacks<\/h1>\n

Ask for feedbacks <\/h2>\n
When you change some setups\/configs\/teams, make sure to ask for some feedbacks with some simple questions :
– Could you hear me well ? Was I breaking ? <\/div>\n
– (if you are the organiser) Was the meeting relevant<\/span> <\/span>\/ <\/span>Did you get value out of this <\/span> ? <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

Provide feedbacks <\/h2>\n

Most times, it is hard to know how we come through – and most times, people don’t ask for feedbacks – Be proactive about this : 
– Hey mate, you were breaking a lot \/ It was hard to hear you today 
– (Harder) Hey, I don’t think a whole meeting was needed for this decision 
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
