One of the most common problems on virtual meetings is when an attendee starts talking and they forget they are on mute.
Video signs is a fast and easy way to communicate that can be used when other attendees are talking.
Video signs are printed or hand drawn signs that you keep nearby to use during virtual meetings. Common signs are “Yes”, “No”, and your city name. The most popular sign is “You’re On Mute”. I keep this sign near my camera and use it almost every meeting.
The benefits of using a video sign is that it’s fast, it works while other people are talking, and quite often, people laugh because they have never seen them.
Brad Cochrane, keynote speaker at http://story1stmarketing.com, was one of the first to use visual signs during meetings. He wouldn’t have to unmute. He could just hold up a sign that said Yes or No.
