We’ve all been there – endless online meetings, squinting at grainy screens, wondering if our colleagues are even awake. Seriously, how many online meeting does it take to realize that audio and video quality matter more than we want to admit?
Remember the old adage, “It’s so important to see each other”? Well, that applies to virtual meetings too. But let’s be honest: when the image quality resembles a blurry Picasso painting, it’s hard to gauge whether your counterpart is awake or daydreaming. Seriously, folks, investing in a decent webcam won’t break the bank – we’re talking less than 20€ here!
Beyond the technical aspects, there’s an underlying issue: Respect. When you’re on the other side of that grainy screen, it’s easy to interpret it as, “Our conversation isn’t even worth 20€.” Yeah thanks.
Now, let’s tackle the argument some companies make: “We need to go to the office for better interaction.” Well, guess what? I agree: It’s important to see each other. Just as face-to-face interactions benefit from a comfortable office setup, virtual meetings thrive when we prioritize audio clarity and crisp video. It’s not about fancy equipment; it’s about showing respect for the conversation.
So, let’s raise the bar. Prioritize audio and video quality in your virtual interactions. Your colleagues and your sanity will appreciate it.
