Online meetings can be held from any location with an internet connection. They provide greater flexibility, cost savings and accessibility, and are a great choice for regular or short interactions between small work groups. They are also more convenient than traditional meetings because they don’t require travel. Meetings online have a lot of advantages however they also have some risks. Before incorporating them into your company, you must take into consideration these disadvantages.

The primary benefit of online meetings is the time savings aspect. Because there is no requirement to book a room and worry whether it will be big enough for everyone to fit in and you can dial in at the appointed time and get straight to work. Furthermore the time that would have been spent on preparing for the meeting or commuting to it can be used to work productively. This will result in less minutes being wasted during the meeting, and it can also make it shorter.

Another important advantage is that online meetings are generally more punctual than those held in person. This is because participants are more likely to attend the meeting from the place they’re in (be it their office, home or coffee shop) and avoid the hassle of preparing for a meeting, being late and enduring the stress of driving or commuting. There’s also no risk of being involved in a car accident or spreading germs trying to make it to a conference.
