Remote versus in person meetings

From time to time I find myself traveling around the world, yet still having regular meetings at NYU. Of course this is only possible because of on-line tools like Zoom.

We all know that there is something missing when you are not meeting in person. But I wonder what might also be added to compensate.

Other than the convenience, what are the actual advantages of meeting remotely? I am curious to hear what others might think.

  1. Thanks. I totally agree, but I actually meant it the other way.

    What might be some advantages of remote meetings, as opposed to in-person meeting?

  2. Mostly that it is easier to see details on your own screen. I have been in several physical meetings where we setup a teams call just to share the screen (all audio muted) rather than trying to read from the screen at the end of the room.
