It’s hard to believe a year has passed since the pandemic hit and we were all forced into working from home with most interactions, both personal and professional, becoming virtual. 

With restrictions still in place in several areas across the country, many are still heavily relying on video-conferencing platforms to host virtual meetings. And while we may all think we are experts at video calls by now, there are several features that you may not be utilizing or know exist.

“Virtual meetings are likely becoming permanently integrated into many business operations,” says Scott Wilson, co-founder of Banty.com. “You may not realize that there are several tools, tips and tricks at your fingertips that can take your virtual meetings to the next level.”

The experts over at Banty.com, an appointment-focused video conferencing platform, offer some tips and tricks to enhance your virtual meetings to take them to the next level:

• Visual features—Taking your virtual meeting to the next level starts with adding visual elements. Utilizing interactive presentation features like animations, graphics, music, and video will allow for increased engagement and participation within participants.

• Branding elements—Adding your branding or logo to the meeting will present a professional look to participants. They will know that you mean business!

• Live stream webinars—Looking to reach a wider audience? Streaming your video conference live on YouTube or Facebook allows you to have unlimited views and transforms your meeting into a webinar.

• Utilize the Chat Feature – The chat feature can be especially useful in meetings with a large number of participants, where allowing everyone to speak may not be realistic. The chat feature can allow for sharing of thoughts, or relevant website links that may be useful to the group.
