virtual meetings

Remote video conferences

Virtual meetings are gatherings conducted through video or audio technology rather than in person.

Participants connect via platforms like Zoom or Teams from separate locations: We've had nothing but virtual meetings since the pandemic.

The format enables remote collaboration but brings its own frustrations—frozen screens, muted microphones, and the peculiar exhaustion of staring at a grid of faces.
