Challenges Faced During Virtual Meetings
- Increased Risk of Disruption: Zoom calls have become a primary method for meetings, yet they are not without risks.
- User Fatigue: Constant online engagement can lead to fatigue for participants.
- Crisis Management: Participants highlighted the importance of developing strategies to mitigate disruptions.
Security Measures for Future Meetings
