While we&#8217;ve adapted to virtual meetings, hybrid ones introduce the complexities of merging in-person and remote participants.

They work by leveraging technology (webcam and microphone) to allow everyone to participate in a meeting, regardless of individual location.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With many companies switching to a hybrid work model, hybrid meetings are becoming more common. But the truth is, we\u2019ve been doing them long before the pandemic! Just think of the conference meetings of yore, when you\u2019d have a telephone on speaker in the middle of a table, with on-site participants gathered around it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>However, an increasing number of participants are expressing <a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/meeting-fatigue\/\">virtual meeting fatigue<\/a> due to the continuous use of online platforms. The strain from back-to-back video calls and the lack of physical social interaction can be taxing.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s just that the hybrid meetings of today are more sophisticated, almost always featuring a video element and more advanced equipment than previously used<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benefits of Hybrid Meetings<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Bring in diverse and engaging speakers, regardless of their location.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hybrid meetings allow you to diversify your pool of speakers. Where in-person meetings often require extensive travel, hybrid meetings allow anyone from anywhere to join\u2014making the possibilities for your events endless.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Enable attendance from employees who normally wouldn\u2019t be able to join.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usually, remote employees wouldn\u2019t be able to join on-site meetings. But with hybrid meetings, you\u2019re able to increase attendance among your employees who work from home, keeping them in the loop.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cultivate a culture of inclusiveness, even when teams are distributed.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even before the pandemic, remote employees and contractors often felt left out of office culture. With hybrid meetings, you can be more inclusive and create cohesion among your employees, whether they\u2019re on-site or off.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Problems With Hybrid Meetings<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>They could unintentionally cause division.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While yes, one of the benefits of hybrid meetings is increased inclusivity, one of the problems of hybrid meetings is exactly its inverse: It could actually <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">create<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> division. How? If you adopt a \u201cOne Zoom All Zoom\u201d policy (attributed to real estate tech company Zillow), you require everyone to make accommodations for remote team members\u2014even if only <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">one<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of them is joining. This could create resentment in the on-site employees, who not only have to join from their laptop to accommodate the off-site employee but also have to be reminded of the fact that they\u2019re in the office while the remote employee gets to kick back at home.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another potential for resentment is within your remote attendees, who might see their in-office counterparts enjoying each other\u2019s company, while your remote attendees sit alone at home. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>More potential for technical problems<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sure, technical problems are a possibility even during 100% <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/effective-virtual-meetings\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">virtual meetings<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but they become more frequent when you mix in-person and remote. That\u2019s because hybrid meetings have more complexity; the technology is usually more advanced, such as a dedicated camera and microphone, and there are many opportunities for remote attendees to be unable to hear what\u2019s happening on-site. While hybrid meetings enable higher attendance, they also have the potential for more tech headaches.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Run a Successful Hybrid Meeting: 10 Tips to Make the Most of It<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that we\u2019ve gone over what hybrid meetings are and the benefits and problems associated with them, how exactly does one run a successful hybrid meeting? Below are 10 tips that can help you make the most of your hybrid meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Question whether you really need to hold a hybrid meeting at all<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just because you\u2019re hosting an in-office meeting doesn\u2019t mean you need remote employees to join\u2014and vice versa. Yes, you want to create a culture of inclusion, but that doesn\u2019t mean roping in everyone for meetings that are irrelevant to them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Select a meeting leader<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having a meeting leader is a key part of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/virtual-meeting-etiquette\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">virtual meeting etiquette<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but it\u2019s especially crucial when for a hybrid meeting. The meeting leader will be responsible for setting the agenda, sending out details on how to join the meeting (for both in-person and remote attendees), and smoothing over any miscommunication that might occur during the meeting. Additionally, for hybrid meetings, it\u2019s wise to have a meeting leader with some technical prowess; that way, they can ensure the video is streaming properly and audio is coming through clearly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Designate a \u201cremote champion\u201d<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s an effective hybrid meeting idea from Slido, a company that makes a virtual meeting interaction app. For their all-hands meetings, the Slido team appoints a \u201cremote champion\u201d whose job it is to facilitate the meeting for the remote attendees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cLike a sports commentator, the online champion will engage the remote teams before, during, and after the meeting,\u201d Katy Mrvova writes on the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slido blog<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your remote champion can keep an eye on the virtual chat messages, too, and call attention to when a remote attendee (or in-person one, for that matter) has submitted a question or suggestion. This is just one of many ways to ensure you\u2019re including your remote attendees. When someone is at home and joining the meeting from their laptop, it\u2019s more of a challenge for them to pipe up than someone who\u2019s sitting there in the conference room.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the remote champion can be assigned to take meeting notes, and utilizing an <a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/ai-meeting-note-taker\/\"><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;AI note taker&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:4286,&quot;4&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:16777215},&quot;5&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0}},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;6&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0}},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;7&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0}},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;8&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0}},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;10&quot;:2,&quot;15&quot;:&quot;Arial&quot;}\">AI note taker<\/span><\/a>\u00a0can significantly facilitate the process and enhance the meeting experience by capturing all the important discussions and interactions throughout the meeting.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Invest in a quality microphone and external webcam<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because you\u2019ll potentially have multiple people in the same room, each on their own laptop, it\u2019s best to have everyone mute their laptops and then get a dedicated microphone to put into the room for the audio channel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically, teams do video during a hybrid meeting in one of two ways:<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>One external webcam on all of the on-site attendees gathered in one room. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you choose to have your in-person attendees gather in a conference room, get a quality external webcam that can show a view of the in-person group to the remote attendees.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Individual laptop cameras for each on-site attendee sitting at their own desks. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you choose to have on-site attendees join from their own laptops at their own desks, you won\u2019t need a dedicated webcam for the whole team.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Eliminate audio and visual distractions with Krisp\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether joining from the office or elsewhere, attendees are bound to bring some of that pesky background noise with them. Press the \u201cmute\u201d button on unwanted sounds with <a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/\">Krisp<\/a>, an AI-powered noise-cancellation app. Incorporating <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/meeting-transcription\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">meeting transcription<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> alongside Krisp ensures not only clear audio but also documented conversations for later reference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Installation is easy, and once that\u2019s done, set the speaker in your chosen web conferencing software to \u201cKrisp microphone\u201d and toggle the Krisp app to \u201con\u201d to ensure noise-free meetings where your voice and the attendees\u2019 voices are heard clearly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[demo-new]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond eliminating noise, Krisp also disguises unwanted background visuals. With Virtual Backgrounds, Krisp can help you have a professional-looking background without the need for a green screen. You can choose from one of the high-quality images provided in the Krisp app, or upload your own.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Be mindful of accessibility needs\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, making accommodations for accessibility is essential for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">every<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> kind of meeting. But hybrid meetings held during the pandemic have a particularly tricky issue: Often, on-site employees who work in an open-plan office wear masks due to Covid. When these masked on-site employees join a hybrid meeting, remote attendees who are deaf or hard of hearing can\u2019t read their lips.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So how can you fix this? One idea is to use video call software that includes live, automatic captioning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But this is just one example. To find out what your employees\u2019 specific needs are, ask them. <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.app\/en\/templates\/survey-templates?utm_source=f-partners&amp;utm_medium=krispai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Conduct surveys<\/a> and meet with them one-on-one to capture their feedback.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7. Have everyone join from their own laptop\u2014whether on-site or remote<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is becoming an increasingly popular approach to hybrid meetings, often referred to as \u201cOne Zoom All Zoom,\u201d as taken from Zillow\u2019s hybrid meeting policy. It means that even if only <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">one<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> person is joining the meeting remotely, everyone\u2014even on-site employees\u2014must join individually from their laptop (not gathered in a conference room).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The intention behind this is to ensure an equitable and inclusive meeting atmosphere. By having everyone join from their own laptop, regardless of whether they\u2019re in person or not, you prevent on-site employees from having side conversations in person, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you avoid making remote attendees feel left out when they see the on-site team gathered in person.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a downside to this strategy, though. As one web developer told <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Washington Post<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: \u201cWhen everyone is doing Zoom from their desk, it\u2019s impossible to tell who is in a meeting.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So if you\u2019re in an open-plan office, and some of your colleagues are at their desks attending a hybrid meeting while others are at their desks working privately, you might unintentionally interrupt a meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8. Ask on-site attendees to arrive well before the call begins to catch up in person<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This genius tip comes from Michelle Volberg, the CEO of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Giledan Search<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Her executive search firm asks in-office meeting attendees to gather in a conference room\u2014where there\u2019s a single dedicated microphone and camera\u201415 minutes before the hybrid meeting starts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;This gives time for folks in person to say hello to each other, catch up, find a seat, and then dial in together to avoid delays for those dialing in remotely,\u201d Volberg explains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It also helps in-person team members bond without making the remote team members feel left out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9. Remember, not everyone can see what\u2019s going on in the room<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0A major hurdle in hybrid meetings is when in-person participants overlook the presence of those joining remotely. This often leads to issues in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/virtual-team-communication\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">virtual communication in the workplace<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> For example, an on-site attendee might gesture toward something, but the remote employees can\u2019t see what they\u2019re gesturing to. This takes mindfulness and getting used to, and the \u201cremote champion\u201d we talked about earlier should be paying attention to hiccups like this and pointing them out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10. Document your hybrid meeting policy<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you decide on how you will hold hybrid meetings, document it and make it available to all employees. This will ensure cohesion in your teams and productivity during your meetings since no one will wonder what they\u2019re supposed to do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In your hybrid meeting policy, be sure to answer key questions, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Will on-site employees join from the conference room or from their own desks?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Should attendees use the online chat feature to submit questions?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How will you appoint a meeting leader and remote champion? And what will their responsibilities be?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What equipment will be used during each meeting?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are there any particular <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/blog\/tools-for-hybrid-teams\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hybrid tools<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that can make the meetings more interactive?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What happens if only one person is joining the meeting remotely? Will you require all in-person attendees to also join remotely from their own laptops?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hybrid Meetings Don\u2019t Have to Be a Headache with Krisp<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just as we faced challenges during the initial shift to remote work at the start of the pandemic, the transition to hybrid meetings has its hurdles. Months in, mastering the art of hybrid meetings might still feel elusive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One prevalent issue is the feeling of exclusion experienced by remote participants. In these scenarios, technological solutions like Krisp play a pivotal role. Krisp ensures that audio communication remains clear and devoid of background noise, bridging the gap between on-site and remote attendees. Couple that with a<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/meeting-minutes-app\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> meeting minutes app<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and the chances of miscommunication diminish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The aim isn&#8217;t to attain perfection but to constantly evolve and improve.
