What is an Online Meeting?
An online meeting is where two or more people use internet or telephone based tools to do something together. Just like offline, what happens depends on the purpose of the meeting. Some examples are:
An informational meeting where information is presented or disseminated, typically with one or more people presenting and everyone else watching and listening. If not done well, these can be even more boring than when we do this face to face! (F2F) These can scale out to very large numbers and are useful when you have to quickly get information out With good design, you can build in interaction in the form of questions and answers, polls for feedback, etc.
A team meeting where a small group of people work through an agenda of business items which may include informational items, brainstorming, decision making or other team processes. These are generally meetings of 10 people or less if there is to be true interaction of all members.
