Pros & Cons of virtual meetings

Advantages of conducting virtual meetings

Efficient remote sessions

Virtual meetings facilitate effortless remote sessions between teams, replacing traditional physical meetings where everyone needs to be in the same location.

Lower cost and effort

The large cost and effort that goes into conducting offline meetings can easily be reduced by connecting via virtual meetings over the internet on virtual meeting platforms.

Flexible work

Virtual meetings open up a flexible work environment for remote business teams. They empower professionals to work from the location of their choice and still be connected with their colleagues.

Disadvantages of conducting virtual meetings

Connectivity

As virtual meetings happen over the internet, network issues can sometimes cause delays or downtime in remote virtual meeting sessions.

Such issues can be easily resolved by choosing a quality virtual conferencing platform like Zoho Meeting that optimizes feeds according to bandwidth, providing seamless connectivity on the virtual session for your entire team.

One time for all

With everyone connected remotely, it's possible some team members live and work in different time zones. In such cases, instant virtual meetings won't always work for business teams.

This can be easily fixed by scheduling meetings before the date of the meeting. Be sure to choose a virtual conferencing platform in the likes of Zoho Meeting that automatically translates the scheduled meeting time across your team members' time zones.
