But when you’re facilitating virtually, I invite you to name call. We used to learn not to call people names. In fact, I would actually argue that even if you’re connected on a call, that real connection only happens when people are seen, heard, and understood for who they are and who they are not. It’s more important that they feel seen heard and understood. If you are choosing to stick around, I’m going to unpack 2 virtual meeting best practices to increase engagement and allow your participants to feel seen which I would argue is actually more important than you seeing them. Unfortunately, you can’t see more than that. Just checking this to hide online video participants is sometimes a really nice way to give you a cleaner view so that you’re not staring at black boxes with names in them but you’re only really able to connect with people. Knowing that in every call, you’re going to have some people who are on video, some people who are not on video. I’d rather for the group engagement’s sake, I’d rather just focus in on a handful of people on one screen. Realistically, in 90 minutes, I’m not going to be seeing individually every single person. I was recently facilitating a workshop for the University of California, San Diego and there were 175 people on Zoom. Now, one other thing that if you’re in a larger meeting that I really like to turn on is hide non-video participants. You can scroll through pages of people on gallery view. If you go above that, little arrows will show up on the side of your screen here and here as pages. J ust as an fyi, and as you think about planning your group sizes, for me, a virtual meeting tip is to cap your meetings at under 49 people if you definitely want to see people on one screen. I found that if depending on what screen size, even if you have that button checked, it still isn’t actually going to pack 49 people in there. Now, this is a little bit of a trick because if you have 50 people on the call, there’s going to be one person that you can’t see. And right here, you can display up to 49 participants per screen in gallery view. And when you do that, you get all these options. And then under that little arrow, you can open up video settings. When you’re on Zoom, in near the stop video button, there’s this little setting. As promised, here’s the 60-second tech tutorial way to do that. You might have somewhere between 4 and 40 to 400 people on a Zoom call and you want to see everyone. There’s probably more than just me on the call with you. Here we are and you want to be able to see everybody. And if you want to watch the video on this topic specifically, you can scroll down to the bottom of this post to access it as well.

To get the full context, visit our YouTube channel here. You’ll definitely be able to get the main idea. Because of that, there may be typos or phrases that seem out of context. We know sometimes it is easier to scroll through written content which is why we are publishing here. Because even if you can see all of them, I would argue that it’s actually more important that they feel seen.īLOG NOTE: The following is an adapted and edited transcript of one of our daily YouTube tutorials. And if you stick around for this video, because it’s my job to help people organizations and universities make connection and engagement easy, I’m also going to share 2 virtual meeting best practices to help your participants feel seen.
