Meetings Overview
Review this video for an overview of the Meetings* tool.
Remote, In-person, or Combined Team Sessions
Tip 1 - Have one facilitator and one scribe.
We have seen clients succeed when they have one person leading the meeting and another running the meeting.
Tip 2 - Screenshare Ninety when bringing remote teams together.
Get the meeting started using any video conferencing software — Zoom, GoToMeeting, Google Hangouts, or Microsoft Teams all work well.
Have the person running the meeting in Ninety share their screen to move to the different sections, create items, and utilize other in-app actions.
Tip 3 - Use audiovisuals during the meeting just as the team would in person.
In the conference room or meeting space, share Ninety on a screen, so everyone can see and follow the agenda together.
