Best-case video conference

Everyone is using a USB headset.

- Phone headsets sound awful.

- Music headphones pick up too much background noise.

- Laptop audio picks up way too much background noise.

Everyone mutes their audio when they're not speaking.

- It reduces the overall background noise on the audio.

Everyone has joined from their own computer.

- It's difficult to hear remotely what's going on in a room, typically the remote people get a worse experience than the people in the office.

Everyone has their video switched on.

- Be brave and be the first person to switch the camera on.

We're using a tool that works without a complex client installation (appear.in, Google Meet) so everyone is on time.

Everyone is actually listening so that when a question, they can answer.

Everyone is on WiFi.

- Being on the receiving end of someone joining a video call on their phone's mobile network is awful.

Everyone is in a quiet place.

- Public transport isn't the ideal place to take a business call.

- Loud distractions (ping pong, music, people) ruin calls.
