online meetings

Remote video conferences

Online meetings are gatherings conducted over the internet rather than in person, typically using video conferencing software that allows participants to see and hear each other through their screens.

They became ubiquitous during the COVID-19 pandemic and remain standard for remote work, allowing people to collaborate across distances without travel.

We have three online meetings scheduled for tomorrow.

The format has spawned its own etiquette around muting, camera use, and virtual backgrounds.
