Ensuring Virtual Meeting Success
Virtual meetings are becoming more and more common in New Brunswick for legal meetings and discoveries and Eunota has compiled a list of tips to ensure that it is successful for all parties. Big cities like Moncton, Saint John, and Fredericton all have access to high speed internet, but even more rural communities can make do if you work smart. Read on for tips to make the most of the internet you have.
Check your internet connection
This is paramount to the success of your virtual meeting because poor bandwidth will result in not being able to share video which is the goal of meeting virtually rather than over the phone. To check your internet connection properly, take your device to the location that you plan to meet from and click THIS LINK to test your internet speed.
Reduce demand on your internet connection
There is only so much internet capacity, or bandwidth, available for programs running on computers in a house or office so it is important to limit its use to what’s important – your virtual meeting. You can reduce the demand on your internet connection by making sure that programs like Netflix or live-stream gaming are not happening while you are planned to be on your virtual meeting. This ensures that there is the maximum amount of internet available when you need it most.
Download necessary apps and try them out
Before the meeting happens, you will be told what platform will be used to meet so make sure you have downloaded any software available before the day of your meeting; you will also likely be sent a link. For Zoom, you can download the program to your computer or smartphone HERE. Once you have downloaded your platform, try to open it and familiarize yourself with the platform.
If you have issues, contact your court reporter
Court reporters in New Brunswick, like Eunota, have experience guiding clients through using videoconference software for virtual legal meetings, so if you have issues, be sure to reach out before the day of your meeting.
