Important for: The host, primarily. Don’t get me wrong; everyone should be on time for the Zoom call. But this is particularly important if you’re the meeting host. The last thing you want your guests to experience is having to stare at that screen, telling them that the host will let them in soon, after all. Since you’ve organized the meeting, and...
Important for: The host, I admit; this is my personal gripe with many Zoom meeting hosts. They let everyone to the call and leave it to everyone to get to know each other.

Important for:All participants. I admit that this is my personal pet peeve during Zoom calls. I absolutely hate seeing other participants checking (or even responding to!) emails, following chats on Zoom, or even having separate conversations with others. And you can so easily tell when they do so. Their eyes aren’t fixed on one point on the screen...

You see, one challenge we experience when chatting on Zoom is lag time. People on the call may use different internet speeds, etc. and these can lead to lagging in your words r...
Important for: All meeting attendees joining the call from a non-professional environment. If you’re in a professional environment when on the call, like being at your desk or in the company’s meeting room, then you probably, don’t need to worry about this etiquette tip. But if you are joining the call from home, a coffee shop, or another non-profe...
Important for:All participants. This rule should apply even if you don’t use the video camera during the meeting. Sure, with the camera off, other meeting attendees will not see you eating. But they might still hear you chewing or swallowing. This is particularly true if you forget to mute your microphone. Overall, eating during a meeting is a big ...
