We've all been there, right?
- Take notes
- Make it a goal to speak during the meeting
- Plan to recap the meeting to someone
- Turn your phone on silent
- Mute your email
- Don't be afraid to take a break if you need it
- Move the windows around so the person speaking is near your window (we all tend to look at ourselves, don't we?)
- Consider doing speaker view
- Go full screen if your background windows are too distracting
- Blur your background so that nothing is distracting you in your picture
- Make it a goal to reach out to someone during the meeting
- Have something for your hands (out of frame) to fiddle with
- If it's a meeting where you can have your camera off, talk to yourself about the meeting
- If focusing on your own video helps you focus, do that (no one can tell)
- Remember it's not the end of the world if you do zone out for a moment (you're not alone)
