Online Meeting Starts – The Team View

As the time drew closer the faces started appearing in the MegaMeeting room, after an initial 5 minutes of sorting out all our own technical issues of microphones and webcams we were all present seeing each other and able to be seen and heard!

Hosting the session was Terie from MegaMetting in LA and his local time was about 2.30am – and we thought Small Business Owners worked long hours. This first session was challenging and eye opening for all the Online Meetings participants with an introduction to the software features and functionality of how you can run a meeting online from various locations around the world.

The Team’s feedback was positive and encouraging and initial fears of technical incompetence were quickly laid to rest. A feeling of involvement and interaction was shared for the meeting room with most being impressed with the ability of how simple it appeared to share information with everyone.

On talking to all and reading through the comments on Google Groups, in the day or two following, several of the team were already thinking of concepts on how using such technology and how these could benefit theirs businesses. We are all away now to play with the software and meet up again in smaller groups, whilst looking forward to the next online meeting in the comfort of our offices or homes… (Mike)
