2. Facilitation steps before the meeting

According to the NOAA document on facilitation practices for virtual meetings, there are two types of steps that can be taken:

steps before an online meeting
steps during an online meeting

Tips for successful online meetings:

Disconnect from email during the meeting, even if it's short.
Before you start speaking, say your name.
Don't forget to use the microphone mute/unmute button.
Do not put the call on hold as background music from your phone system will play.
Refrain from side conversations or inside jokes.
Speak loudly and clearly.
