Paying attention to your setting, appearance, and delivery should help improve the effectiveness of your online meetings. In addition to coaching one another on how to give a strong online speech, my club has implemented a new role to improve our online meetings—“meeting operator.”
This role is similar to a stage manager (someone who is responsible for technical arrangements), and they are in charge of shifting the “focus screen” from one speaker to another and muting non-speaking participants when disruptive noise arises. We also find the timer role works better by sharing screens of different colors than showing color cards to the camera.
