FaceTime. Google Hangouts. Zoom. You&#8217;ve seen them all around, and chances are you&#8217;ve used one of these video call programs a time or two. But do you really have the hang of it? <br><br>With the need to do things virtually, how do you manage your team meeting from a computer? <br><br>The Boutique Hub Team is a fully virtual operation, all working remotely from around the United States. Our team has been doing virtual team meetings for years now and sometimes, they&#8217;re the highlight of our week! <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the ways to ensure your virtual meeting is productive <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">and<\/span> fun!  <br><br>Aka&#8230;..Zoom Ettsicute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/theboutiquehub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/woman-looking-at-laptop-1467277-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18915\" width=\"541\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theboutiquehub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/woman-looking-at-laptop-1467277-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/theboutiquehub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/woman-looking-at-laptop-1467277-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theboutiquehub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/woman-looking-at-laptop-1467277-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theboutiquehub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/woman-looking-at-laptop-1467277-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/theboutiquehub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/woman-looking-at-laptop-1467277-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/theboutiquehub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/woman-looking-at-laptop-1467277-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/theboutiquehub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/woman-looking-at-laptop-1467277-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/theboutiquehub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/woman-looking-at-laptop-1467277.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 541px) 100vw, 541px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Mute when you&#8217;re not talking<\/strong><br>Unless you&#8217;re doing a 1-on-1 call, mute yourself when you aren&#8217;t the one talking. Any extra background noise can be distracting to the other participants, and even though you may think your room is quiet, there can be feedback that others can hear. There should be a mute button on your screen while you&#8217;re on the call. Just remember to unmute when you have something to say!<br><\/li><li><strong>Try the &#8220;raise your hand&#8221; function<\/strong> <strong>(Zoom)<\/strong><br>When a large number of people are on a call, it can be difficult &amp; awkward sometimes if a few people start talking at once. One way to get around this is by using the &#8216;Raise Your Hand&#8217; function. The setting allows the Admin (or whoever created the meeting) to control everyone&#8217;s mute vs. unmute function. Participants will use a &#8216;raise my hand&#8217; button when they&#8217;d like to speak and the Admin will unmute that person. Think of it like you&#8217;re back in a school &amp; you have to wait to be called on to talk! Because we all followed that rule, right??!  If you are going &#8217;round the room&#8217; with responses, you can also try having the person speaking &#8216;toss&#8217; it to the next person by calling on them and alleviating that awkward ah&#8230;eh&#8230;oh. you go&#8230;no you go&#8230; moment. <br><\/li><li><strong>Paid vs free plans<\/strong><br>The nice thing with both Google Hangouts and Zoom is that they&#8217;re free! You can then upgrade to a paid plan if you need some extra features. If you already pay for a Google account (i.e. if you have an email address that ends with @yourbusiness.com), you should already have an upgraded Google Hangouts account! Score! <br><br>The free plan for Zoom allows your videos to be up to 40 minutes with 3+ participants or unlimited if it&#8217;s just you and another person. If you need longer than that for group meetings or plan on recording your sessions (see #7 below), you&#8217;ll want to opt-in for the paid plan. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"More information can be found here.

While you aren&#8217;t physically with the others, turning the video on adds a little bit more human connection!<br><br>When should you have the video off? If you&#8217;re eating, driving, trying to wrangle kids, going to the bathroom (yes, there&#8217;s a video out there where a girl goes to the bathroom with her video ON!), or doing something else that&#8217;s distracting to the other attendees.<br><\/li><li><strong>Screen viewing options<\/strong> <strong>(Zoom)<\/strong><br>By default, when you open Zoom on your computer, it will show whoever is talking as a big image then all others at the top of the screen as smaller tiles. This is called &#8220;Speaker Mode&#8221; If you&#8217;d like to adjust it so you see everyone at once, click &#8220;Gallary Mode&#8221; in the top right corner of your Zoom window. If you&#8217;d like to switch back, just click that button again.<br><br>If you&#8217;re viewing Zoom on your phone, you can scroll through to see the other participants but you can only see four at a time. <br><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"686\" src=\"https:\/\/theboutiquehub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-01-28-at-12.15.01-PM-1024x686.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18895\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theboutiquehub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-01-28-at-12.15.01-PM-1024x686.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/theboutiquehub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-01-28-at-12.15.01-PM-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theboutiquehub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-01-28-at-12.15.01-PM-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theboutiquehub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-01-28-at-12.15.01-PM-400x268.jpg 400w, https:\/\/theboutiquehub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-01-28-at-12.15.01-PM-700x469.png 700w, https:\/\/theboutiquehub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-01-28-at-12.15.01-PM-600x402.png 600w, https:\/\/theboutiquehub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-01-28-at-12.15.01-PM.jpg 1127w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The Boutique Hub Team on one of our weekly team calls. <br>They don&#8217;t know I took this screenshot. \ud83d\ude09<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>6. <strong>Screen share<\/strong><br>This option is GREAT when you need to go over a document as a group or want to explain how to do something on your computer.
