Im a student so I don’t really have zoom business calls but i think this is so cool and it will definitely be very helpful to a lot of people

Thank you Jade, it is really helpful. You are such a nice teacher to teach us what might be trouble for us.

Good information. Good manners are timeless and should be applied to the technology as it changes.

Great tips! - regarding the setup and interaction with it: I found that the ones making the greatest impact are audio, lighting, the angle of the camera to one's face and looking into the lens when speaking. Brilliant points.

Thank you Jade!

Great info, Jade. Thank you.

Hi Jade, it wasn't controversial at all! Hopefully a lot of people will watch an put it into practice!

In this video you gave us a great example of etiquette, manners and good professional image.

Great Tips! Thanks

thank you for this video...all the best for you.

Love these videos 👌 😀

Thank you for watching Marco.

This may be useful, since I sometimes use Zoom. Thanks, Jade.

Thanks for the video. I agree with everything except for dress code. Personally I think people should wear what they feel most comfortable wearing, but should choose something respectable. A plain polo t-shirt or at most a shirt for most meetings is fine. (for a male) Changing into formal attire is just not practical and may even come across as being a little pompous. I simply don't have time to do that during my work schedule. Plus, in this summer heat it would not be wise especially considering most homes in the UK are not air conditioned. What are your thoughts about not using a video camera and only using a microphone? Is this poor etiquette? Prior to lockdown, this was the norm. Video conferences were few and far between. Personally I don't see why people should feel obliged to switch on their camera if they're not comfortable doing so.

Zoom has been a great tool this past year or so, and yes it is easy to get lazy about things as you are in your home mostly. I have 6 children...can you imagine the havoc they would reek if i let them in the room on a Zoom call?....solid advice J.

Jade, I discover your videos yesterday and it has been very intense. I already love you. Thank you very much.

I love this and it’s is so important. Another thing I don’t like in important work calls is people in their night gowns! Thank you for this video ⛩ so many people need this 😎

It’ seems sad that people don’t already know that, it’s very kind of you to even bother making a video about this.

Oh, Jade in a few days it's a month of fasting here. I will see you not eating or drink from sunrise to sunset; It's good for teaching(spirituality your course). Fortunately, my cat wasn't in the room, otherwise, she never thumped up.

My cat interrupts my zoom calls too 😆😅😂🤣 I liked your video 👌

It wasn’t controversial at all - should be common sense

Another very helpful video Jade. I think you are quite right to mention the sound of babies crying. I suspect that we are genetically programmed to respond to that sound so if there is the sound of a crying baby in the background of a Zoom call it will be very difficult for other people to concentrate on what a speaker is saying. You pack a lot of good points into your videos - I hope people appreciate them!

Thank you Jade! Glad that you are helping us. Be safe :)

Very very helpful video. A few things I was doing and have to stop. Amazing. You could also say in another viedo something about people checking their phones while talking to you on camera or even in person ... anyway ... amazing video ... thanks for sharing.

Thanks for commenting and making a suggesting that answering a call during a call is bad manners. I think it depends if the call is important, and whether you have said beforehand that you might have to take another call.

Hi Jade! Thanks a lot for your videos. Regarding drinks while having a Zoom meeting, in many countries -the US especially- it is acceptable to have a drink while working with other people. Perhaps participants could say at the beginning of the session: "I hope you don't mind my mug while we are working"?

Thank you, Jade 😃 I first saw one of your videos back in 2014 on “posh English” and you recorded that video on the south bank by the London Eye 😃

Dear Jade, Love from Hungary! It is always a pleasure to listen to and watch your lessons. Thank you so much! Bye! Jozsef from Hungary

It was not controversial - not at all! Like your tips very much.

Love all of Jade's tips from this and her other videos-- however, the one thing that I found a bit offensive was the 'boomer tech' reference (along with a picture of an elderly gentleman staring hopelessly at his laptop). Saying 'Boomer tech' is the same as if someone would refer to 'women drivers' when describing people with bad driving habits. It's a derogatory expression that, like all stereotypes, incorrectly and unfairly lumps all people over a certain age into one convenient category. And it's also unnecessary to include in the video... why not simply suggest that everyone should know how to use the features in platforms such as zoom before the virtual meeting actually starts? After all, I know more than a few Millennials who periodically have tech issues during zoom meetings due to errors on their part.

Jade, you do really good videos on language learning and accents. The other day I watched the one on South London accent and I was wondering the entire time what on earth is so negative about this accent? As you said in the clip, it is part of your identity and your regional background makes you unique. Anyway, I wish that at least a tine fraction of the people I have been in video calls with had seen your video on video confernce etiquette. These people just don't seem to get it. Their bad and annoying behaviour is repetitive on every single call they join. I'm tending not to join anymore. Continuous lack of self reflection just drives me up the wall.

Prof, you have to have a call with people from US. They break most of the rules, mainly regarding food and dress😁😁😁😁

amerikkkans take informality to the point of total lack of self respect, es in southern california

After over 2-years of remote working with daily video calls, I've shared some additional tips below. Sit still, if you can - on camera every gesture or mannerism is intensified, e.g. touching your face is very noticeable. I find this hard, as I get itchy skin and also self sooth in awkward situations, but it's worth trying. Be kind to others who do not present in the ideal way, those who are neurodiverse or disabled, may be noticeably different to others. I often turn the camea off if I'm having an attack of dizziness or nausea, or abdominal pain as otherwise, I'm gurning. I also often struggle to sit up straight and sometimes have to slouch or recline, which could be mistaken for arrogance. Try getting the organisation to agree to some video conferencing standards, e.g. using the raise hand feature instead of jumping in, as with a lot of participants you'll just end up talking over each other. As noted above, try to be inclusive and understand that behaviours may have other explanations and what might not have been prominent in a physical room or which could have been explained, might lead to unfair judgments on a video call. Having better etiquette over whose turn it is to speak is also more inclusive to deaf people or those who are hard of hearing, as there's no subtitles and conferencing usually gives priority on screen to whoever is speaking, if everyone talks at once this doesn't happen and lip reading isn't possible (in addition to the sound being poorer quality). At home, consider adapting different rooms and try to have as much flexibility as possible. It was a running battle with my family for them to not interrupt, or not to take my work seriously, though I now have a choice of room depending upon our schedule and have multiple pieces of equipment (not cheap I know). Regarding 'boomer tech', ironically most people can increase their broadband performance by not using WiFi and instead using a ethernet patch cable to connect directly to their router. It may seem like a backward step, but even with a relatively poor Internet speed, the dropouts will be gone. A lot of new laptops don't have an ethernet port so you may have to buy a USB dock that has one. I paid an electrician to put some ethernet sockets in the parts of my house that are furthest from the router and the Internet is now seenless. I'd tried a WiFi extender but it just wasn't reliable enough. A common fault on Windows PCs is no sound, which is often due to not having a working sound driver for all of the ports - this can take hours to fix, so make sure all your equipment works before an important call. On my PC, I had to delete the driver and install a new one, unfortunately it didn't work straight out of the box.

@@JadeJoddle You're welcome. It's required continuous adaptation since the first days of COVID lockdown with laptops balanced on cake tins. Regarding some of your other points, I still wear shirts or polo shirts for a lot of calls (never pyjamas) and calls are different in nature with external stakeholders than internal. Our internal calls vary between those that are more informal 'cats and coffee' scenarios and others which more formal or task focused, though where it's informal or social, that'd usually be established within the meeting invite.

Hi how can I join?

Thanks for your videos, Jade, they are a great learning resource for us, foreigners. I was wondering if it was possible for me to translate this video about Zoom etiquette into Russian - for free, just for my portfolio. I really like your lessons, and as I'm creating now a portfolio for my possible future career as a translator, I thought I could ask for your permit to collaborate. Russian is my native language, I've already worked as a proofreader and a journalist. I write and proofread everything with care, so I thought I could make decent Russian subtitles for this video and I'd be grateful if you could use it and if I could refer to it as my work. If you say ok, I can just send you an SRT file with my translation or do it some other way (if you prefer it done some other way) Cheers from Russia) Olga

Great tips! Thank you, and well… telling the truth shouldn’t be controversial . Pets, noise , kids, people eating with their mic open) are annoying. We’ve all made ( and will make again) these mistakes but we can all understand that these situations happen and be tolerant to others and aware of our behavior to avoid being rude to others.

Much obliged for your time and effort. far gesund for now. Greetings from Casablanca.

I am the sole member of my team that doesn't appear with cats in the Zoom calls

I love cat😅😁😇🐈🐱...

|I wish the women I work with see this video

Do you yourself plan on having children or...?

what if you do not have money to improve your gear? I thought you SHOULDNT show off..as in normal life showing off is bad manners THE rest I totally agree no pets no kinds no food no drinks..same as when u are in a normal meeting

Kids are the most annoying in group calls. Why parents don’t teach them to stay quiet and make them understand they’re working and they disturb the members of the meeting or class? It’s like parents think their kids are going to be traumatized by being taught and have good manners. It’s stupid!

Ok boomer

You forgot to talk about people yawing in the call! In everyone's face!

Simply realize a business zoom call is the very live meeting you would otherwise be having with people in an office or a meeting room, just on camera. you don't eat a pizza and drink coke and bring a cat to a meeting room with a client, live, do you?

#1. Don't use Zoom.
