competing with other applications.
Be mindful of background noise: When your microphone is not muted, avoid activities that could
create additional noise, such as shuffling papers.
Limit distractions: You can make it easier to focus on the meeting by turning off notifications, closing
or minimizing running apps, and muting your smartphone.
Avoid multi-tasking: Please follow the same guidelines and etiquette that you would at a normal public
meeting and avoid multi-tasking.
Mute your microphone: To help keep background noise to a minimum, make sure you mute your
microphone when you are not speaking.
