WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER: Get the Most Out of Your Next Virtual Happy Hour

Here’s How to Get the Most Out of Your Next Virtual Happy Hour or Party

Participating in a virtual happy hour or attending a work meeting over video chat?

Here’s how to make the most out of your socially distant interaction.  If possible, use your computer, not your phone.  Your arm will get tired holding the device up the entire time, and the video and audio quality aren’t as good.

Avoid appearing with a double chin:  prop your laptop at eye level.

And mute yourself when not talking; the larger the group, the more ambient noise gets picked up.

If you are meeting for your job, be mindful of what’s in the background.  A virtual background could help, in a pinch, too.
