ADAPTATIONS/TIPS

  • This is a great way to get all participants to keep their cameras on for the meeting. When you read a series of statements, be sure that the last statement is one that ALL of your participants will agree with (example: you want a million dollars). This way they will all turn their cameras on. You can follow up by saying, “Thank you all for turning your cameras on. I will invite you to leave your camera on so that we can continue to interact.”
