The When Not To of Online Meetings
When your message is particularly emotional or sensitive
In-person meetings are optimal for these occasions; for example, informing
your team that your company is downsizing is best done in person.
When visual communication is not necessary
If your message is brief and does not contain a visual component (i.e. a
presentation), it is best to use the phone, email or instant messenger to
deliver it.When communicating with people in the same location
Do not use video conferencing to replace opportunities to speak in-person
with colleagues in your office building.
