In this episode of the Elevate Construction podcast, Jason Schroeder delivers a blunt, no-excuses take on virtual meeting etiquette. He explains why leaving your camera off, staying muted, and disengaging on Zoom or Teams calls is unacceptable, and why every excuse from bad internet to broken cameras is really just a decision to not show up. He breaks down how much of communication is actually body language, and why disengaged participants drain the energy out of a meeting for everyone else. This is a short, fiery wake-up call for anyone who has ever hidden behind a black screen.
What you'll learn in this episode:
Why turning your camera off on a virtual meeting is the same as showing up unprofessionally to an in-person one
