Ghosting

Ghosting in the context of online meetings refers to the behavior of a participant abruptly leaving the meeting without providing any prior notice, farewell, or logging off. This term is often used to describe instances where a meeting attendee unexpectedly disconnects from the virtual meeting, leaving others unaware of their departure. Ghosting can disrupt the flow of the meeting and create uncertainty about whether the participant will return. Effective online meeting etiquette encourages participants to inform others when they need to leave a meeting to maintain transparency and professionalism.
