Do you feel pain to set up online meetings?

Question

We are startups, we don't have fancy meeting rooms, neither do we have thousand dollar conference devices. But we use Zoom and Teams meetings every day.

What do we do?

We use laptop, speakerphone, USB adaptor, HDMI TV, and every meeting we just need to set these up. It is painful like this video: https://youtu.be/sSHY-k_bB5o

Do you feel the same pain?

As a product manager, very often I need to organize a meeting with colleague in office and the other remote workers or customers online.

The meeting setup is not complex, but yes I do need to have lots of the accessary to make sure the meeting quality.

@seansong In fact it depends on where our partners/clients are located as we are in an international market.

If they are not far away, we will make the first appointment by video and then we will travel to meet. 
And of course if we are not in the same city or country, we do everything remotely

@enola_vedovotto thanks cool. Guess you don't have to meet with customers or external partners a lot.

I don't feel any pain, we have even created a tool that saves time in video conferencing while boosting KPI's

In our company, we do not have the disease of meeting days (and it feels good). We discuss when necessary, but we can also move forward on our different projects without being overbooked by zoom or teams

as a work-from-home employee, it's very convenient setting up online meetings. I can turn on the camera, plug in my earphones and join the meeting. With the help of customizable backgrounds, I don't even need to worry if my room is messy.

@legonaidas thanks. Do you feel wearing headset for long time (like over 1hr) is another pain?

Sean Song · Answer

@linna_peng and often messing with cables, I guess

Sean Song · Answer

@legonaidas do you use speakerphone or headset? Or just the sound in/out of the computer?

Adventurous-Green420 · Answer

@seansong I usually use my earphones when I need to turn on my camera and headset if it's only an audio call meeting.
